The Role of Investigative Journalism in a Democratic Society on the Example of Günter Wallraff
Hubeňáková, Monika ; Šmidrkal, Václav (advisor) ; Lizcová, Zuzana (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of investigative journalism in a democratic society, on the example of Günter Wallraff, a pioneer of German investigative journalists. His work and methods are controversial and questioned, so I focused on what ethical and legal obstacles his two selected works had to overcome. I chose two reports - Informationen aus dem Hinterland and Ganz unten, from the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century. Both reports were filmed with a hidden camera and were therefore not accepted by the public at first, but after the Federal Constitutional Court's decision, the hidden camera search method was just recognized if it leads to the detection of misstatements. To answer the research questions, I worked with period archival articles and secondary literature. I have connected concrete information from the articles with the knowledge from secondary literature. Reconstructing the link between the two works, the motive of the whole work was journalism as the fourth power in the state, which ensures respect for human rights and freedoms and thus contributes to the maintenance of a democratic society.

In the bachelor thesis I first describe the movement of the New Objectivity at a more general level, the context of the period from the end of the First World War to the Weimar Republic. The following part deals with the Weimar Republic culture, the so-called golden twenties, and the development of mass culture. Further, the style of the New Objectivity is defined, its formation, the typical characters, the themes it deals with, the influence in the various fields of art and its relation to the avant-gardes. The first chapter also includes the Czech historical context, the period of the First Republic. After that follows the...
