Havlická, Kateřina ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Teplá, Jana (referee)
The aim of this paper is to describe media coverage of a suicide that Iveta Bartošová, famous Czech singer, committed the 29th April 2014 in railway in Prague-Uhříněves. It compares the so-called conservative press - Aktuálně.cz, Novinky.cz, Lidovky.cz and iDNES.cz - and the yellow press represented by Super.cz, Extra.cz and Blesk.cz. The paper covers a period of time from the suicide to the singer's funeral which took place the 12th May 2014 and it examines in what way and with what means all mentioned websites informed their readers, how many articles were published, what were the topics of each website or what mistakes (grammatical or any other) did they do. It looks for differences not only between the conservative and the yellow press, but in within those two groups of medias. It also describes if any conservative website went towards tabloidization which means if it used any practices of the yellow press in its work or if it was interested in similar topics as the yellow press was. The paper includes only texts of described articles and doesn't consider the influence of photos or any other graphics in the articles. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Role of Smartphone cameras in Czech Photojournalism
Sýsová, Kateřina ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Teplá, Jana (referee)
In my bachelor thesis The Role of Smartphone cameras in Czech Photojournalism I am going to analyze how Czech photojournalism was influenced by modern mobile phones or so-called smartphones. This topic was examined by several graduates abroad. Anyway I did not succeed in finding any piece of work in which someone examined the influence of smartphones on the work of Czech photojournalists in detail. This reason combined with my interest into modern technologies and its influence on journalism meant for me the clear choice of this topic. In the first theoretical part I am going to describe the development of modern mobile phones and their penetration in everyday life as well as I am going to focus on applications which can make taking, editing or spreading pictures for photojournalist easier. In the next part I am going to focus on the phenomena of convergence. I am going to describe the process of photographical evolution as well as the democratization of photography in the last part of the theoretical section. I am going to complete the practical unit with help of compiling a case study in which I describe Czech professional photojournalists who use their phones for taking photographs. The last part will be complete by an interview with the launcher of the web iPhonefoto.cz and photographer Tomáš Tesař, who...

The aim of this bachelor thesis is Media image of the candidates for president in the second round of elections, which were held in the Czech Republic in 2013. Using the method of content analysis and visual analysis of three of the most read online news, outcomes were found. The purpose was to find out if some of the news favored one of the candidates, if the news supported stereotypes about candidates and how they reached it. It was found, that all online news wrote in favor of Karel Schwarzenberg. They showed him (through photos, headlines and reports) more often in positive way then they showed his rival Miloš Zeman. Server Novinky.cz showed both candidates the most often of all online news in positive way. It published the most of the headlines, pictures and reports, which were positive. The most objective daily news was Aktualne.cz, because of the fact, that it published the largest number of neutral photos, headlines and reports of all servers. The proportion of positive and negative reports was in this server the most even of all. Miloš Zeman was showed in the most cases as a self-confident man with empty hands. If he held something, then it was microphone or bottle of water. His facial expression was friendly or cheerful. Karel Schwarzenberg was usually showed also as a self-confident...

Oulová, Jana ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Teplá, Jana (referee)
The thesis "A content analysis of photographs in Pestry tyden and LIFE magazine" analyses two successful magazines of the first half of the 20th century. Intentionally, two periodicals of different origin (Czechoslovakia and the United States) are compared to investigate the assumption that the different origin has major influence on the overall concept and focus of the periodicals. The subject of this study is the selection of volumes of 1937-1945, the period of the greatest success of both magazines. The study aims not only at describing the contents of the periodicals but also at situating them into social, political and art-historical context. The study is based on a theoretical part which gives a general overview of photojournalism and tracks the slow beginning of journalistic photography and the birth of the first illustrated magazines. This part also deals with technological development which made possible quality image journalism. The study does not leave out numerous restrictions, e. g. censorship, which were a frequent point of struggle for the magazines' authors. Key words: illustrated magazines, magazine photography, photojournalism, documentary photography, war photography, censorship, propaganda

Analysis of the photographs of czech presidential candidates in the media
Baierl, Tomáš ; Teplá, Jana (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
This thesis examines by using content analysis the selection of photos in some Czech newspaper (Mladá fronta DNES, Hospodářské noviny, Blesk, Právo) before the first direct presidential election in 2013. First direct presidential election in the country's history is a topic that has not been treated in a similar method, therefore this work is in its focus. Research questions in the empirical part are focused on photograph size, the frequency of posting the photographs, positioning photographs on the front page, the connection to political orientation and the connection to polls. Content analysis has more than one thousand rows of data. The output is several variables, such as photograph size, page number, connection to candidate's profession, theme of the picture or photo environment. The focus is placed on the high amount of input data, and this ensures a sufficient sample to study, which in effect increases the relevance of the work. Finally, the theoretical basis for the work is based on the concept of agenda-setting and the importance of photographs in the media.

The photographic work of Markéta Luskačová
Dorňáková, Anna ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Teplá, Jana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the photographic work which the documentarian Markéta Luskačová has created since the year 1964 up to the present. The work briefly summarizes the evolution of photojournalism after the so-called 1948 Victorious February and also covers the role of women in the profession of photojournalism. The thesis also discusses the photographic document, particularly sociological document, as this designation easily summarizes the work of the author. I outline the life of Markéta Luskačová and then I analyse her main photographic cycles in the second part of the work. Pilgrimages and children belong to the most important topics of Luskačová's work. I use the method of visual analysis which Gillan Rose has called The Good Eye. The method observes technical elements of pictures, for example a tonal contrast or a framing. I supplement The Good Eye method with the semiological analysis which interprets the meaning of visual elements. The important source of information is - besides reference works - the documentarian Markéta Luskačová herself. I analyse not only her work but also her life in interviews with the photographer. The whole text of interviews is to be found in appendixes of the work.
