Strnadová, Mirka ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Hronová, Tereza (referee)
This thesis describes the reflection of homosexuality in Czech media on the example of marches of homosexuals. Firstly I clarify the main terms and the differences between them, then I focus on the history of perception of homosexuality and the roles of homosexuals in our society. The chosen units for the content analysis are following periodicals: MF Dnes, Právo and Lidové noviny. The analysis focuses on the articles published in the range of three months from the day the events took place during the years 2008 and 2011. In the analytical part of this thesis I firstly characterize the marches held twice in Brno, once in Tábor and once in Prague. All the periodicals were interested in the first Queer Parade in Brno but their interest in the second and third one dropped. The most media attention achieved the Prague Pride in 2011. There have been over 100 articles about this topic and their size rose and dropped equally with the number of visitors of these events. The interest of the media has also been influenced by any kind of negative event, mainly when the marches were attacked by extremists or criticised by politicians. These negative and stereotypical statements in media can be very influential in the way of stigmatizing sexual minority and it is also one of the aspects which this thesis pays...

Prague in the czech media
Smlsal, Matěj ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor essay investigates how the most important Czech daily newspapers inform about regional affairs in Prague. The Mlada fronta DNES daily dedicates a few pages of every edition to local news. Every month it also publishes a stand-alone supplement in the capital and six times a year a luxurious life-style magazine. The Hospodarske noviny daily on the other hand reports more from Prague than about Prague, claims the editor-in-chief Petr Sabata, at least since the regional supplement has been discontinued. One of the other newspapers included in this research is Pravo, which dedicates a double-page every day to local news. Then there are Blesk, where the reader can find one or two pages of local news and the Prazsky denik newspaper. In the first chapter I introduce the mentioned newspapers. In the second chapter, I analyze the content of the dailies in a selected week. I conclude that the most news about Prague are brought by Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES. This result is confirmed by the subsequent analysis of how each of the dailies reports about selected events in Prague in 2012. The Prague Pride, the second round of the Senate elections in Prague 8 and the Easter markets on the Old Town Square were discussed in the greatest detail in Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES, but also in...
