Vietnam War during the years 1964-1975 from the perspective of Rudé právo and New York Times
Matoušek, Martin ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
The main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to focus on key events of the conflict known as the Vietnam War through the perspective of the Czechoslovak and American periodicals i.e., the Rudé právo and the New York Times. By examining newspaper articles focusing on the most important events, it will help to understand the extent to which the subjective interpretation of the Czechoslovak communist periodicals differed from the American ones, and then to objectively put this information in a historical context. Given the period in which the war took place, it is assumed that both periodicals were to some extent subject to propaganda and did not inform their readers objectively. The work consists of three main parts, the first part outlines the historical and political situation in Vietnam and the United States. It then analyses the researched periodicals in a historical context. The second part focuses on the qualitative analysis of selected newspaper articles from both periodicals and their subsequent comparison. The third part then focuses on the final analysis of the data obtained in the second part and evaluates with what accuracy the information in the articles with the historical context coincided and whether the periodicals were objective in their information.

Gálová, Gabriela ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
In this master thesis I focus on the news presenters at the public broadcaster Radiožurnál which is part of Czech Radio. My aim is to map their role in the station's broadcasting and to describe the factors that influence them in the processes of the selection of news and the compilation of news reports. I will also try to define the positions that are involved in the creation of the entire newscast. The main theoretical concept of the whole thesis is gatekeeping. I will also present possible organizational structures of newsrooms, the definition of journalism profession or the anchoring of Czech Radio in the Czech media system. The research part is based on the analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews with news presenters and staff of the central newsroom. In the thesis I answer the question of how the news coverage of the Radiožurnál station is produced. I also look at the role of news presenters in terms of professional requirements and the degree of journalistic autonomy. Finally, I analyse the factors that influence news presenters in their work in terms of media organization, media routines and individual level.

News on demand. A comparative study of podcasts in Czechia
Pávová, Lucie ; Groman, Martin (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
This thesis focuses on Czech daily news podcasts produced by traditional media. It examines their features, differences, and brings a perspective of their listeners, too. The content of 61 episodes of three podcasts, Vinohradska 12, Studio N and E15 Cast, was first analyzed. Each podcast was characterized based on a predetermined set of criteria. These characteristics were then compared with the definitions of news and opinion journalism. A total of 20 semi-structured interviews were later conducted with listeners of the news podcasts. The research questions focused on their motivations, preferences, and potential changes in their relationship to other forms of news. The answers were then explained based on qualitative research using the grounded theory method. From all the data obtained, it is evident that news podcasts do not meet the current definitions of news, especially not the category of deep-dive podcasts. The survey revealed that most of the listeners approach daily news podcasts as a form of opinion journalism too. Furthermore, the three pillars of daily news podcast are: its host, content and finally technical qualities and post- production. According to the respondents, daily news podcasts do not replace the consumption of other news, but rather complement it.
