Economic Crisis: Media Representation and Public Opinion
Picková, Martina ; Jeřábek, Hynek (advisor) ; Remr, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the current global recession, its presentation in the media, and the public opinion on the economic situation in the Czech Republic. It is based on the theory of agenda-setting. Content analysis is used to examinate the intensity of attention of two different journals paid to the subject of the recession in the observed period September 2007 - December 2011, with a special focus on December 2008. The objects of the current study are two Czech nation-wide journals: the economic newspaper Hospodářské noviny and the tabloid newspaper Blesk. The study shows that the economic journal presents the recession more intensively, from a more general point of view, and questions the causes of the recession. The tabloid concentrates on the Czech Republic, writes about the recession primarily in the context of non-economical news (especially sport), and does not use the mechanisms typical for tabloids as much as expected. A secondary analysis of the outcomes of public opinion surveys examines the readerships of these journals separately. The economic expectations of the readers of the economic journal correspond with the intensity of attention paid by this journal to the recession, but only in the first half of the analysed period. The expectations of the tabloid readers correspond with...

Hanušová, Anna ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis investigates the evolution of news coverage of water-related issues in the Czech daily press from 2014 to 2019. Its theoretical part describes the relationship between mass media and the environment. The characteristics of environmental news are explained more in detail and in the context of environmental topics' features, journalistic routines, news normative demands and economic pressure in the media industry. The topic of the thesis is linked to the media theories about news values, gatekeeping, agenda-setting and framing as well. There is also a review of the studies examining news coverage of the environment and a brief description of the water management situation in the Czech Republic. The methodical part introduces the research goal and previous studies which were used as a base for the method in this paper. The results of the content analysis enabled to describe the news about water issues quantitatively and to explain its features and development according to the theoretical framework and previous findings. This thesis concluded that Czech dailies do not treat the topic of water issues as very important, they are event-oriented, dependent on the official sources and focused on risk-related topics. This can limit public awareness of the problem with decreasing water...

Criminal Proceedings in the news coverage of ČTK
Kuchař, Roman ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šmíd, Milan (referee)
The Czech News Agency (ČTK) is a media institution that collects, processes and provides its customers with information on domestic and foreign events. It represents an important source of information (not only) for other media. However, trying to provide prompt information on interesting events may lead to inaccuracies and excessive simplification, especially in areas where there is a specialised element. One of them is criminal proceedings, which take place within the limits set by law. Therefore, this diploma thesis aims to map the form of criminal proceedings taking place before the Czech courts, as depicted in the ČTK news, and possibly to draw attention to their shortcomings in terms of legal standards and ČTK's ethical rules. The diploma thesis is divided into five basic parts. The introductory part briefly describes the concept of criminal proceedings, its course, selected basic principles and terminology. The following part outlines the importance of news for criminal proceedings (public control over the lawfulness of the criminal proceedings) and the boundaries between protecting freedom of speech on the media's part and the personal rights of prosecuted people and the victims. ČTK, its legal status and structure, ethical rules (ČTK Code) and a text report as a basic research unit of...

Artificial nintelligence in journalism and its use on examples of press agencies Reuters and AP
Jahn, Oliver ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
Cílem této diplomové práce je představení zcela nového způsobu vytváření i distribuování zpráv a obsahu, kdy se do tohoto jinak tradičně "lidského odvětví" začínají v poslední době promítat automatizované a chytré počítačové systémy využívající umělou inteligenci. Hodlám vysvětlit, co tento pojem znamená s ohledem na mediální prostor, představit jeho poměrně krátkou historii a popsat, jak dochází k jeho zavádění v žurnalistické praxi. Jelikož se jedná o stále vyvíjející se část možná budoucí novinářské práce, která je zatím v začátcích, nepracují s ní zatím ve větším tuzemská média, i když postupně začínají experimentovat například se strojovou žurnalistikou, tedy předstupněm plně automatizované umělé inteligence. Výzkum je proto zaměřen na vývoj a používání umělé inteligence tiskovými agenturami Reuters a AP, které s těmito nástroji už začaly pracovat a na jejichž případu hodlám ukázat možný budoucí nástup i praxi. V závěru zhodnotím největší výhody i nejdiskutovanější etické problémy fungování umělé inteligence v žurnalistice.
