Distorted map pf the world according to daily newspaper MF DNES and SME
Špirko, Michal ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Trampota, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis "Distorted map of the world according to daily newspapers MF Dnes and SME" deals with the ways in which the most widely read newspaper in the Czech and Slovak Republic inform about world matters. Foreign news in surveyed newspapers MF Dnes and SME are examined by using a quantitative content analysis which particularly asks "how" and "why" some states pay great attention and others are ignored. The question of "how" is developed in the methodological section. This part establishes procedures by which knowledge can be achieved, and identifies factors that may be crucial for assessing the unequal attention to the individual states. The question of "why" refers to the theoretical part, which outlines the findings of media studies on the construction of media reality, as well as the characteristic features of media organizations and the creation of news content. Attention is also focused on the description of the contexts between analyzed media organizations and resources issues. The aim of the whole work is then to compose several distorted maps of the world by selected criteria, which reflect the world view as presented through the content of examined journals.

He had been writing profound reportages about growing influence of nacism besides surveys about people living at the edge of society, expert studies about the cinemotagraphy or essayes. This diploma describes Kocourek as a omnifarious personality, who had been occupying by literature, movies or public lectures except his working in media. There is also mentioned his working in the radio, where he had been improving among the best reporters at the turn of the 1930s and the 1940s, who had been going along with the Czechoslovak people during last period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, short time of the Second Czechoslovak Republic and the nazi ocupation.

The Falklands war on the pages of Rudé právo
Svoboda, Karel ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
Bachelor thesis "The Falklands War on the Pages of Rudé právo" is about the attitude of the Czech media, particularly Rudé právo. The Falklands' war between Argentina and Great Britain occurred in mid 1982. This thesis will try to tackle some of the unanswered questions on how much space had been dedicated to this conflict by Rudé právo's pages and how it was interpreted to its readers. Above all is this an ideology of unanswered questions or is it an opposition leaning towards either side of the conflict and if so, whether and how they manifested their sympathy to justify their pages. The first part of this work is characterized by a brief historical context of the early eighties of the twentieth century, the second part is orderly devoted to practical analytical work.

Reflection of the 2004 US presidential election in MF Dnes and Hospodářské noviny
Valentová, Hana ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Cihlářová, Gabriela (referee)
This thesis examines two Czech leading dailies and their coverage of the US presidential election in 2004. Based on the quantitative content analysis of Mlada fronta Ones and Hospodatske noviny during the period of one month leading to the election (i.e . beginning with the first presidential debate) the main aim of the study is to identify and describe the different approaches undertaken by the abovementioned newspapers. The hypothesis assume s that the MF Ones dealt mainly with 'popular aspects' of the election (like meeting s, image and character of the candidates, their families etc.) , while the Hospodarske noviny focused more on political and platform issues. The study is divided into two parts . The first one addresses the theoretical background - brief remarks regarding the media and elections in general; the outline of the presidential campaign within the realm of media and journalistic coverage; the analysis of the news values champ ioned by the Czech media ; and finally the characteristic of the analyzed newspapers. The second part is designed more practical in scope: it states the aim of the study as well as the employed methodology and code book. Last but not least it contains the results of the analysis and their interpretation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Czech Union of Journalists during The Prague Spring
Suková, Jana ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Končelík, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes the Czech Union of Journalists in the Prague Spring. The aim is not only to analyze details of the situation in the Union of Journalists, who in 1968 went trough a major ideological change, but also on the issue of the journalists in the long term. I want to focus on the development of Union in 1968 and attempt to find answers to these questions: When did the Union became the authority that supported the reform ideas of the late 60's? Why there was a break between the members of the journalistic organization? In addition this work should uncover the relationship between the general development of the situation in Czechoslovakia and the Union of Journalists, to explain some of the attitudes of journalistic organization at the time. Finally, the work does not neglect neither media area as Czechoslovak Television, Czechoslovak Radio and all printed materials which were always shaped mainly by journalists. Therefore this work deals with the close relationship between the Union of journalists and media in general. Especially, this relationship in my work is raised during the first days of the occupation that Czechoslovakia affected on 21st August 1968, during which the media, thanks to relentless work of journalists, has become indispensable organizers of social events.

Broadcasting deputy of Ministry of Enquiry 1945-1953
Holomek, Ondřej ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
Ministry of Enquiry represents a unique institution in the history of Czechoslovakia. During 1945-1953, it helped Communist Party of Czechoslovakia through its ideolocical activity in gaining political power. This work introduces very dynamic and interesting postwar era - a transition from one authoritarian to another, and the way communists effectively got key bodies and institutions under their control. Ministry of Enquiry is an evidence of a close connection between state and partial interest. Its main task was to gain control over public communication and to tailor this to the needs of the Communist Party. This piece of writing describes a connection between the most important contemporary mass-medium (broadcast) and state and partial bodies that influenced the broadcasting. Key body was the Ministry of Enquiry in this process. Yet before the political coup in February 1948, it managed to change the form of Czechoslovak Broadcast so much that the Broadcast supported Communist Party before, during and after the coup. In the following years, whole Czechoslovak society went under the control of Communist Party, which also influenced broadcasting even more. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Media reflection of Václav Havel during his presidental elections
Žáková, Michaela ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The main objective of my diploma thesis is compiling media reflection of Václav Havel during his presidential elections and find out whether it is possible to determine some ideological background of newspapers - their political orientation, a tendentious way of informing etc. Václav Havel is one of the most significant personalities in Czech modern history. This dramatist and writer was several times imprisoned for dissident activity, his dramas and essays were prohibited before 1989. In spite of this he markedly participated in fall of the regime when he dealt with members of KSČ about the future of the state during the Velvet Revolution. Thanks to his political and citizen involvement he was elected the president on 29th December 1989 by Federal Assembly. The next years he succeeded again. He left high politics in 2003 but he continues to comment important national issues. I choose qualitative research as an appropriate method, because it allows a detailed analysis. I am going to use "grounded theory". The result will be a probe into ideological background of two dailies - Rudé právo/Právo and Mladá fronta/Mladá fronta DNES. These dailies have survived the fall of the regime, so they are the only possible variant.
