Translation question: svetgazeta

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Erika,

It seems that "svetgazeta" means something like "satirical journal".  
See this story about Viktor Bokov. The word appears in this article  
twice (in the middle of the article):

All best,
Sasha

> I have come the term "svetgazeta" in a decision related to Soviet   
> amateur photography from 1928:
>
> Кроме использования фотоснимков в самой газете, следует время от   
> времени выпускать специальные фотоприложения – светгазеты,   
> фотоэкраны, фотостранички.
>
> Any suggestions as to what a svetgazeta might be? It may simply be a  
>  photo-newspaper --- given the archaic term svetopis' for photography.
>
> Please do let me know if you have any advice.
