The most important part of the whole thesis introduces three collaborationist periodicals from protectorate, which were chosen by author.

Relations of the The czech policy towards the Jews during the so called "Second Republic"
Golová, Denisa ; Rataj, Jan (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the changes in the czech policy towards the Jews during the transformation of the liberaly democratic and culturally tolerant so called "First Republic" into anti-semitic authoritarian regime of the "Second Republic" whose political representation accepted the conception of the race nation. The aim of this paperwork is to describe the changes taking place in the Second Republic from several angles. The first is the view of the Jews themselves to their coexistence with the majoritarian population in the Czechoslovakian First Republic and especially in the newly defined post-Munich state. Work in this section deals with the Jewish national ideologies, especially the Zionists and asimilants, and explains the specific situation of German Jews in the Czech society. The next chapter analyzes the political insight- the changes taking place within the state apparatus itself. At this point the concept of the conservative ideology of the far right is introduced. The far right together with the Czech fascists participated in the diversion of government policy from Masaryk's "humanistic democracy" to the authoritarian order and antiliberalisms of the Second republic. In its concept it gradually came to the racial state and biological anti-semitism. The third factor examined, which completes the whole situation on the background of the formation of the Second Republic and its anti-semitic policy, is the contemporary media's optics and commentary on the situation. In this chapter a image of the Jews created by the newspapers is presented. The final chapter is devoted to the antisemitic actions of the professional associations against Jewish race.

Hlavním úkolem této bakalářské práce bylo zjistit, jakou a jak významnou roli hrál tisk během období tzv. druhé republiky. Jelikož tato práce dokazuje, že druhá republika dospěla svým vývojem k autoritativnímu režimu, politická úloha médií a konkrétně tisku tak významně vzrostla.
