Oral history and its place in Czech journalism on the example of Tales of the 20th Century on Czech Radio
Dvořák, Vilém ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Gulda, Jana (referee)

I belong on the pitch: Stories of women who are changing the face of Czech football
Zahradil, Erik ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Lovaš, Karol (referee)
In this bachelor's thesis, with its practical part being a radio documentary, I examine the significant issues faced by women in Czech football and how they are perceived in society. The theoretical part contains an analysis of various aspects and obstacles that women in football tend to face, including their media portrayal, inadequate representation, and insufficient funding for women's football. To accomplish this, I will use academic literature and freely available online resources such as articles and interviews. The practical part is based on testimonies from women working in different structures of Czech football, accompanied with insights from experts. The goal of this thesis is to initiate a discussion on the position of women in football and the persisting gender inequalities within the realm of sports.

The covid 19 outbreak as seen by foreign reporters of Czech radio
Klečka, Jiří ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The covid pandemic has affected both mainstream domestic and foreign news coverage. This thesis examines how the spread of the disease affected the work of Czech Radio reporters. How did they have to adapt, what impact did the pandemic have on their personal lives or what were the possibilities of returning from foreign posts to the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is also to compare what topics the newsroom in Prague demanded from the reporters and what information was available to them in the country where they were stationed. I also briefly discuss the radio's response to the pandemic and how Radio as a public media outlet took care of its employees abroad. I then discuss the results of the interviews with the correspondents with their then manager. Before analysing the interviews with the correspondents, the thesis introduces them in short medallions and also charts important world and domestic events that were the main focus of the news coverage during the pandemic. The thesis also briefly defines the nature of the work of a foreign correspondent and the impact of the pandemic on the news coverage.

Topolčianky - Summer residence of Czechoslovak presidents
Žohová, Magdalena ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to present the historically significant castle of Topoľčianky and its surroundings. In the form of a radio podcast, the author presents a comprehensive information package that introduces the castle and its surroundings from a historical perspective and offers interviews with historians and locals. The podcast form in this case incorporates several well-known and defined radio genres. It combines elements of the classic interview, documentary, but also reportage. Listeners of the practical output (podcast) should learn a lot of summarized information about the historically significant place used by former rulers and presidents, led by Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, as their summer residence. The result of the work should therefore be a mapping of the site in a varied and attractive, yet informative form.
