Media Law and Media Capture in Slovakia and the Czech Republic after the year 2000
Hanák, Peter ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Kroupa, Jiří (referee) ; Višnovský, Ján (referee)
This dissertation connects theories and notions of media and democracy, oligarchization of media, media capture, and media systems with the economic theory of competition law. Slovak and Czech media laws are analyzed in a comparative legal analysis. Pluralism as the core value in all of the above-mentioned theories is researched. Novel historical periodization of the 1989 - 2020 era is proposed, as these 30 years are framed as a permanent transition of the media system of three distinct types. The Herfindahl-Hirschman index proves that the Slovak and Czech media markets are concentrated or oligopolistic, and this trend was strengthened in the last decade of the examined era. The new tool, the Power of Media Owners (POMO) indicator, is invented to show the strength of media oligarchs across platforms. This proves inefficacy of the cross-media ownership regulations, and it is used to measure the level of media capture. Fourth model of media systems, the non-pluralist authoritarian Eastern Oligarchic Captured model is described and the situation in Slovakia and Czech Republic is compared to it, concluding that both examined countries are in fact closer to more established Polarized Pluralist Mediterranean model, which is framed as a half-way to the Eastern model. Conclusions reveal which changes in...

Repolonization and deconcentration: the importance of limiting foreign capital for the media market in Poland
Blažková, Karolína ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Klimeš, David (referee)
The bachelor thesis aims to map the debate on the repolonization or deconcentration of the media in Poland after the 2015 elections when the Law and Justice party won. First, the thesis provides a basic overview of the Polish media market and its development after 1989, which is crucial for the entry of foreign investors. It also summarizes the developments surrounding the ruling party's efforts to push through two laws that could transform the ownership structure of the media, namely a law introducing a new tax on advertising and an amendment to the Broadcasting Act. These two bills were, according to experts, intended to fulfil the ruling Law and Justice Party's vision of repolonizing or deconcentrating the media. The paper then compares the amendment to the Broadcasting Act, which was intended to directly restrict foreign owners of audiovisual media in Poland, with existing legislation in other European countries such as France and Hungary. One of the chapters is devoted to the analysis of foreign capital in the Polish media market. The thesis does not omit the key event that is often referred to as 'repolonization in practice', i.e. the purchase of the regional media network Polska Press through the state-owned petrochemical company PKN Orlen. Polish politicians, journalists and media experts...

Šedivá, Tereza ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
The following Master's thesis is focused on participatory journalism. Participatory journalism has become an interesting and important part of media production since the invention of Web 2.0. In recent years, the concept of listeners and viewers creating professional news has been used by radio, television and online media all over the world, including Czech television and its ČT24 news programme. Czech TV launched a project called iReportér in 2015. People can send photos or videos of what is happening around them through a mobile application or a website. These materials, checked by editors, may be later used in a broadcast, on the website or on Czech TV social media profiles. The theoretical part of the thesis will explain main concepts necessary for understanding how participatory journalism works. For example, what is convergence, who are the produsers, what is Web 1.0., 2.0. and 3.0. It will describe what the advantages of participatory journalism are and how it is different from citizen journalism. One section will focus on ethics and another on examples of participatory journalism projects abroad and in the Czech Republic. In the practical part, the author will present applied research methods. After that, the author will evaluate data from the questionnaire survey and from in-depth...
