Rybáčková, Nikola ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on how the Czech Television covered the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia in its main evening news program. It was an important theme of the whole year 2018, it wasn't the only anniversary we commemorated in that year, though. In 2018, eighty years have passed since the signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938 and seventy years since the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état. It's also been fifty years since the Prague Spring and the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Last but not least, we celebrated twenty-five years since the founding of the Czech Republic in 1993. All these events are significant milestones in Czech and world history of the twentieth century. Therefore, the thesis analyzes to what extent Czech Television dealt with these events. The aim of the thesis is to get an insight into the coverage of this topic throughout the year 2018 and to find out how much space was provided for each anniversary and what the nature of the posts was.

Rybáčková, Nikola ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on events in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia from September to December 1941 and their image in the selected Czech periodical press. During September 1941, there was an intensified wave of resistance, which was culminated by a successful proclamation of the London radio broadcasting to boycott the Protectorate press by the Czech society. At the end of September 1941, it was suddenly announced that the Protector Konstantin von Neurath is ill. His role in the Protectorate should be then filled in by Reinhard Heydrich as a deputy Protector. He is the person associated with the following period, when serious reprisals against the Czech society took place. In addition to the declaration of martial law, the most important incidents where an arrest of the Prime Minister of the Protectorate Alois Eliáš, a death of the prominent activist journalist Karel Lažnovský and worsening of anti-Jewish measures, including the start of the actual realization of the Final Solution of the Jewish Question. The thesis analyses a way of presentation of the events of the last third of 1941 in the selected Czech official press, which was used as a propaganda and manipulation instrument of the occupation power, and a way of presentation in the selected illegal and exile Czech periodicals.
