The thesis tries to compare the image created by the analysed media in 1967/1968 with the historic reality. There were two main aims of this thesis. Firstly, to learn if the analysed media reported objectively about the IVth Congress of the Association of Czechoslovak Writers, secondly, to find if there is a difference as concerns the freedom of press between the years 1967 and 1968.

Prague Spring 1968 - conflict of interpretations
Hlaváčová, Kamila ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the period of the Prague Spring which was significant for the Czechoslovak history. This period is characterized by an attempt of Czechoslovak politicians and society to establish a specific path to socialism. Main aim of the thesis is to answer the question of whether the process of revival of the 60s carried a potential for political pluralism and a possibility of democratization or whether the process should be rather seen as liberalization. Answer to this question is sought primarily through an analysis of historical documents, drafts of reforms and through a process of formation of non-communist organizations.

Munich Treaty as a legitimizing means for normalization in Czechoslovakia - Contribution to the influence of mass media in Czechoslovakia at the end of the 60' and beginning of 70' of 20th century
Provazníková, Jana ; Szobi, Pavel (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
This magister thesis is focused on relationships between mass media, political power and society in Czechoslovakia in the late 60' and in the beginning of 70' in 20th century and desribe the transformation of media atmosphere during the era of political changes in Czechoslovakia, that means the transformation from "liberalized" 60' due to the normalization. I find answers to these questions: What were the most important changes in medial atmosphere in the Czechoslovakia in late 60' and beginning of 70'? Were media and politics connected? How important was the influence of mass media due to the political changes and normalization? Did comunists mass medias have such great power to influence society and persuade people about the rightness of intervention? As a main hypothesis there is the claim, that mass media under the comunists influence wanted to and actually managed to manipulate with people and their opinions. The answers for questions and hypotesis are verified on the basis of a general theory of media history and studies and then specifically analyzed on the concete historical example -- Munich Treaty. Methodologically this work come out of the new political history and discussion that lead to the role of mass media in modern sotieties, and also from the latest scientific literature and archival materials.
