The degree of respect for the ideal of objectivity in the news of Czech Television and CNN Prima News: the example of media coverage of the functioning of the president's office
Šafránková, Tereza ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This thesis aims to explain the concept of information bias and to demonstrate its concrete manifestations in the main evening newscasts of ČT24 and CNN Prima News. The background material will deal with the profiling of the media image of the functioning of the presidential office of Miloš Zeman. The material will be drawn from the period from May 3, 2020, when the news station CNN Prima News began its broadcast, to the first quarter of 2022. The initial theoretical framework serves as the conceptual part of the thesis, outlining the issues of the phenomenon under investigation, i.e. media bias. This chapter defines the basic concepts, defines the methodological framework, provides a characterization of the media under study, and makes assumptions about the types of bias that the selected media might eventually commit, in the context of knowledge about how the media profiles itself. On the basis of this knowledge, a qualitative semiotic analysis is carried out, focusing on the content, language and visuals of the broadcast reports. As part of the analysis, the thesis also takes into account the profiling of the media image of the presidential office of Miloš Zeman. The aim of the thesis is to highlight the ways in which the selected programmes violate the concept of information quality and...

The analysis of New Year's and Christmas speeches of the three prezidents of the Czech republic (1994-2021)
Kružíková, Kateřina ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the written form of New Year's and Christmas speeches of the three presidents of the Czech Republic, i.e., Václav Havel (speeches from years 1994- 2003), Václav Klaus (speeches from years 2004-2013) and Miloš Zeman (speeches from years 2013-2021). The thesis will set the speeches in the context of the lives of the presidents, analyze them from a linguistic, semiotic, and content perspective, and will compare them with each other. The thesis will focus on the topics the presidents raise, as well as potential elements of influencing public opinion. In the framework of the analysis, the thesis will consider the response of the media to the speeches. The aim of the thesis is on one hand to determine how the personalities and life experiences of statesmen influence the creation of their speeches, and on the other to contribute to a deeper understanding of the presidential office and to explore its evolution throughout the thirty years of the existence of the independent Czech Republic.
