Visual Representation of Ukraine Crisis in Respekt Magazine
Trhoň, Ondřej ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Topinková, Martina (referee)
This work analyses how values of Respekt weekly magazine reflect in its photojournalistic coverage of beginning of Ukrainian crisis. Through simplified content analysis method I quantified different formal and content properties of ten galleries published during the Majdan protests and tried to interpret how they are used by photographers to influence their viewers and what is their role in medial framing of the conflict. Apart from creating a coding table and interpreting the results, I led interviews with two main Respekt photographers. Cumulative analysis of those resources revealed that Respekt's coverage is not impartial and in fact favorises protesters while almost not portraying the other side of conflict.

The visual image of Czech public figure suicide in print media
Novotný, Filip ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the media image of Czech public figure suicide in print media. Selected for analysis were the deaths of actor Vlastimil Brodský, composer Karel Svoboda, and singer Iveta Bartošová. The media to analyze are Blesk, a leading Czech tabloid, Mladá fronta DNES, a popular middlebrow newspaper, and Lidové noviny, commonly considered a serious, reputable daily. The goal of this paper is to compare the approaches amongst the selected media to the depiction of public figures and the sensitive issue of suicide, and secondly, to demonstrate the eventual progressional change thereof. Should a clear difference be proven to exist, this paper might also - as a secondary goal - become a minor contribution to the discussion concerning the supposed tabloidization of Czech media.
