Oligarchization of the Media and its Influence on the Ethics of Journalism
Mačí, Josef ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the problem of media oligarchization and its influence on the ethics of journalism. Based on the synthesis of existing theoretical concepts, a narrower definition of the terms oligarch and media oligarch is presented in the text. On this theoretical basis, the situation in 31 selected European countries from the point of view of media oligarchization is evaluated by comparing the methodologies of three media indicators - Freedom House's Freedom and the Media, Reporters Without Borders's Press Freedom Index and Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom's Media Pluralism Monitor. This is considered primarily a problem of post-communist and post-colonial countries, and the diploma thesis tests this assumption. The problem of ethics of journalistic work within the scope of media oligarchization is presented on a theoretical as well as practical level, based on a chronological comparison of ethical codes of three selected media groups - MAFRA, Vltava Labe Media and Czech News Center, which changed ownership from a multinational group to an oligarch or an oligarchic group.

Social networks and digitization in general have changed journalistic production. Journalists must be able to produce all types of journalistic content - text writing, photograph, shooting video and working in the post- production, as part of multiskilling. Moreover, each part of the process has to be compatible with the framework of professional ethics, which is still under development in terms of new technologies, including social media. At the same time, journalists must work to promote themselves through social networks and to build their own devoted audience. The bachelor thesis will deal with the comparison of code of conducts in the Czech Republic and in the UK in the case studies. It aims to find differences between the two countries in terms of approach to the social media. I also compare case studies of Czech journalists and their daily work with social networks in three periods (the...
