Dramaturgy of Radio Wave programs - discursive analysis
Petele, Jan ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Hroch, Miloš (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the critical analysis of dicourses in three selected programs of Radio Wave. The aim is to find out how these discourses are constructed depending on Ruth Wodak' discoursive strategies and how they reflect social reality. At the theoretical level, the work defines the historical consequences that led to the foundation of the Radio Wave and the concept of alternativness. These theory sections open the parts of the work that will focus on the internal compostion of the radio, its format and dramaturgy. To fulfill the goal of the work, we will use the method of qualitative analysis, specifically critical discourse analysis. We well present the methodology of the work and the analysis procedure of the individual programs: Studovna, Podhoubí, Záložka. We follow the aktivity in the "action field", the probable overlap of the douscourses and individual speeches. The aim of the work is to analyze individual statements, their argumentation, possible falsity and truthfulness, to find out what connotations individual social actors acquire, but also to declare how our chosen public law station participates in formuling the topics of individual discourses. For this purpose, individual episodes are selected, which are based on the concept of journalistic radio interview.

Narrative structures in Indiana Jones film series
Jeřábek, Jan Lucián ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on identifying narrative structures which can be observed throughout the Indiana Jones film series from the first episode (1981) to the fourth episode (2008). It analyses the film reviews and focuses on the way in which their authors have reflected the narrative structures. The thesis also aims on the analysis of the relationship between the positive or negative nature of the reviews and the overall success of each of the films of the series. Beyond that, the thesis deals with the presence of the myths in the film series Indiana Jones and evaluates to what extent it is being reflected in each of the reviews and in the reception of the audience. The qualitative content analysis of the reviews published in journals that specialise in the coverage of film news has proven the existence of a specific narrative structure that is present throughout the Indiana Jones film series. The analysis and subsequent comparison of the reviews has shown that the film critique consensually agrees that the specific narrative structure was respect in each of the films of the series. The analysis of the reviews has also proven the existence of a direct relationship between the nature of the reviews and the overall success of the films of the series.

The aim of this thesis is to summarize the theoretical work in the field, current research of foreign and Czech audiences, and the results of the research carried out as a part of this theses. The research aimed to determine what factors motivate young viewers in Czechia to use video on demand, at what occasions and in what physical and social context. A qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews was used to research a sample of 15 respondents aged 18-34 living in Czechia. The research helped uncover the reasons leading to the use of video on demand, including content availability, simplicity and accessibility of the platforms, a large content offer, the influence of their close ones, absence of ads, the possibility of accessing content legally, and the desire to improve language skills. When choosing a specific platform to use, young adults consider the availability of specific content on the platform and the user interface.

Comparative analysis of News Broadcasting on Czech Television and TV Nova during the fire in Bohemian Switzerland
Dumbrovská, Zuzana ; Kruml, Milan (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The thesis focuses on the comparison of noon and evening news spots in Czech Television and TV Nova. The aim is to find out how much broadcasting time is devoted to the fire in Bohemian Switzerland, which is considered to be one of the largest and worst fires in the Czech Republic. We examine the period from the outbreak of the fire for approximately a week, when the situation is still on going (more precisely 24.7. - 31.7.2022). We analyze the following sessions: Události and Televizní noviny, Zprávy ve 12 and Polední Televizní noviny. We will use a quantitative analysis to provide clear, accurate and verifiable results. In addition to numerical analysis, we will also focus on the order of individual news items in the broadcast and compare events in Bohemian Switzerland with other events that have occurred in Czech Republic and around the world. The aim is to determine whether the media is subject to campaignibility, which means that media favors a particular issue over others, regardless of their actual importance. The results of this thesis could be used for further analyses in the future, which could include a larger research period and more media types.

Media image of the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and Elizabeth II. in the Czech press
Beranová, Monika ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Růžička, Daniel (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on analyzing the media image of two significant political and cultural figures, Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II. Both figures passed away shortly after each other in 2023. The text describes in detail the lives and political careers of both figures, their impact on the world, and the current perception of their characters. Mikhail Gorbachev is often referred to as the greatest politician of the 20th century. He served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991 and was also its sole President from 1990 to 1991. He advocated for economic and political changes that led to the democratization of the Soviet Union. In 1990, he even received the Nobel Peace Prize. The figure of Mikhail Gorbachev is still perceived very differently by Russians, the global public, politicians, and the academic community. Gorbachev himself was never fully identified as the architect of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Queen Elizabeth II reigned as the Queen of fifteen independent states known as the Commonwealth realm from 1952 to 2022. During her reign, there were several significant milestones that influenced the perception of the Queen and the entire British royal family. As an example, her ascension to the throne and coronation in 1953 was...
