Last but not least, objectivity, the semiotic semantic encoding of texts, the policy of selected printed periodicals and ultimately, the personal and the professional life of the films' creator including his works. The thesis represents the controversial filmmaker Lars von Trier in the context of his work and personality.

The thesis deals with the specifics of the TV series and the documentary film, analysis of these film works and reviews of film critics and the public. The aim of the work was to present a comprehensive picture of the Berdych's case, which has gone down in history as the biggest case of organised crime intertwined with the police in our history.

The aim of this thesis is to describe a media image of all Czech first ladies in the years 1993-2020. To obtain their media images, articles from the daily newspapers, from Lidové noviny and Blesk were chosen. To achieve these results, a qualitative content analysis was chosen and complemented by a quantitative content analysis. Due to insufficient resources in the field of research of the first Czech ladies, foreign literature was used in the theoretical part. The final part of this thesis contains answers to research questions, a comparison of differences in coverage of the first ladies in two different types of media and the resulting media images of all Czech first ladies.
