The manifestations of technological determinism on the selection of news topics in ČT24 and ČRo Radiožurnál
Bečková, Kateřina ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled The manifestations of technological determinism on the selection of news topics in ČT24 and ČRo Radiožurnál seeks an answer whether the choice of news topics in TV and radio is influenced by the available technologies in each of the media, and whether they eventually choose different events to cover. The theoretical part describes concepts of gatekeeping, news values and also technological determinism. In the practical part then the author analysed three days in broadcast of the chosen media, in each it was two-hour segments around the main news at noon and in the evening. Selected topics, that ČT24 had and Radiožurnál did not, have been later analysed by semiotic analyses in order to find whether the visuals were the factor why the event was not presented by the radio. Context of the findings were given by six semi-structured interviews with journalists form both radio and television. From all the data obtained, it is evident that the television had dozens of topics more per day, caused by the time space given to the news reporting. Unlike Český rozhlas Radiožurnál, ČT24 focused significantly on the visual side of events, which could be the reason why editorial board may reject a topic proposed by the reporters.
The degree of respect for the ideal of objectivity in the news of Czech Television and CNN Prima News: the example of media coverage of the functioning of the president's office
Šafránková, Tereza ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This thesis aims to explain the concept of information bias and to demonstrate its concrete manifestations in the main evening newscasts of ČT24 and CNN Prima News. The background material will deal with the profiling of the media image of the functioning of the presidential office of Miloš Zeman. The material will be drawn from the period from May 3, 2020, when the news station CNN Prima News began its broadcast, to the first quarter of 2022. The initial theoretical framework serves as the conceptual part of the thesis, outlining the issues of the phenomenon under investigation, i.e. media bias. This chapter defines the basic concepts, defines the methodological framework, provides a characterization of the media under study, and makes assumptions about the types of bias that the selected media might eventually commit, in the context of knowledge about how the media profiles itself. On the basis of this knowledge, a qualitative semiotic analysis is carried out, focusing on the content, language and visuals of the broadcast reports. As part of the analysis, the thesis also takes into account the profiling of the media image of the presidential office of Miloš Zeman. The aim of the thesis is to highlight the ways in which the selected programmes violate the concept of information quality and...
Information sources of parliamentary election voters in 2021
Kovaliková, Anežka ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Just, Petr (referee)
This thesis concentrates on the relationship between voting preferences and media consumption. Its first hypothesis is based on the assumption that media affect voting preferences and thus voters of different political subjects employ different media consumption behavior. The second hypothesis states that the voters of anti-system parties are more likely to consume disinformation media. In its theoretical part, the text explains the concepts of disinformation, agenda-setting, disinformation media, filter bubble, confirmation bias and anti-system party. The research is carried out via a survey distributed through Facebook social groups and focuses on eight political subjects present in the parliament before or after the Czech parliamentary elections in October 2021. Second half of the thesis focuses on the results of the survey and their discussion. It is divided into chapters, each presenting the results for individual political subjects. Last of the chapters combines all the data and puts them into perspective.
The Vrbetice case and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in selected foreign press
Mazúchová, Sára ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The subject of the thesis is the media coverage of the Vrbetice case and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline dispute in 2021 by British and American newspapers. In the content I look for manifestations of the so-called new cold war frame. The theoretical part of the thesis begins with the concept of framing, continues with the birth and characteristics of the cold war in the media and ends with a description of the events of interest: the Vrbetice case and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline dispute. The analytical part consists of a qualitative textual analysis in the spirit of grounded theory and a quantitative content analysis, which is partly based on the initial qualitative research. The research observes both strong and weak manifestations of the new cold war frame. The strong aspects include the construction of a world dichotomy and the emphasis on the role of the United States as the main actor of the media content. On the other hand, the occurrence of specific cold war designations, historical analogies, direct use of the phrase "cold war" and condemning generalisations towards Russia were marginal in the articles. Finally, the thesis concludes that the new cold war frame does not dominate media coverage of the two events, but only uses some of its aspects.

Kružíková, Kateřina ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the written form of New Year's and Christmas speeches of the three presidents of the Czech Republic, i.e., Václav Havel (speeches from years 1994- 2003), Václav Klaus (speeches from years 2004-2013) and Miloš Zeman (speeches from years 2013-2021). The thesis will set the speeches in the context of the lives of the presidents, analyze them from a linguistic, semiotic, and content perspective, and will compare them with each other. The thesis will focus on the topics the presidents raise, as well as potential elements of influencing public opinion. In the framework of the analysis, the thesis will consider the response of the media to the speeches. The aim of the thesis is on one hand to determine how the personalities and life experiences of statesmen influence the creation of their speeches, and on the other to contribute to a deeper understanding of the presidential office and to explore its evolution throughout the thirty years of the existence of the independent Czech Republic.
