Changes in photography under the pressure of digital era
Šedivý, Tomáš ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of two parts - practical and theoretical. The practical part is an audiovisual documentary based around five interviews with five personas of artistic and journalistic as well as amateur photography. It sheds light not only on their views on the photography medium but also on their own creative process related to it. The theore- tical part follows up the interviews and further develops the subject of changes in photo- graphy, notably the means of photojournalistic work and its perception in society. It sket- ches a brief history of photography and internet environment but its main focus lies in the transition from the analog era to digital technologies at the turn of millennium. It describes the trend of social networks, digital filters and influencers through which a return of the analog photography can be witnessed in the recent years.

The transformation of editorial routines in the online media in consequence of the expanding video content
Svobodová, Lucie Magdalena ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse videocontent on three Czech online media and describe how owing to video production the journalistic routines have changed. Because of growing videocontent on the news websites journalists often have to master skills which were not necessary for their work before so their work routine is being changed. In the newsrooms which produce videocontent there is a higher level of multiskilling - the workers often have to do more tasks altogether. Except for these changes the author focused also on the journalists and how they see the changes of journalistic routines themselves and whether they like them or not. Among the explored online media there were Seznam Zprávy, Deník.cz and Blesk.cz. The method of the research was a content analysis and semi-structured interviews with journalists from the chosen newsrooms. The results show that because of expanding videocontent the journalistic practices indeed have changed, which the journalists are getting used to though, and some of them even appreciate the higher level of multiskilling.

Sýkorová, Tereza ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
The master thesis Bedřich Kocek and Czech Press Photography is concerned with the life and work of Bedřich Kocek - Czech photojournalist who worked in the renowned journal Svět v obrazech (translated as World in Pictures) for over thirty years. The theoretical part specifies the genre of journalistic photography and its development from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries to the 1980s. Furthermore, the development of the journal Svět v obrazech serves as an example for outlining the media and political context in Czechoslovakia since the end of World War II, when the periodical was established, until the 1980s, when Bedřich Kocek left the profession of a photojournalist. An especially valuable and vital part of the thesis is a chapter about the life of Bedřich Kocek, which has not been previously researched and described in detail. That section is based on personal interviews with the photographer using the oral history method. Moreover, the thesis explores the photographic work of Bedřich Kocek through the use of compositional analysis as well as the characteristic features of his pictures, which were part of the reports produced for Svět v obrazech.

Humanistic reportage photography
Pokorná, Eliška ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
The bachelor thesis called Humanistic reportage photography is focused on the paradigm of humanistic reportage photography during the 1950's in Czechoslovakia and worldwide. The first part of the thesis explains the application of the paradigm to photojournalism in both of the above-mentioned areas. A special focus is given to the photographic exhibition Family of Man and the work of photographers united under the Magnum Photos agency. Furthermore, the thesis explores the sources of inspiration, the themes and the aesthetics of this photographic approach. This thesis also features the biographies of selected photographers as well as an explanation of the importance of picture magazines for this paradigm. In the analytical part, a quantitative content analysis method is used to evaluate the hypothesis, which states that the humanistic reportage photography paradigm, present in the photographic content in Life, was also to some extent present in Mladý svět. At the same time, the hypothesis also assumes that to an extent the usage of photographic content will differ in both weeklies, and the frequency of the topics and their aesthetic treatment will vary slightly. The results of the research and their analysis support the hypothesis and further develop it.

Media image of selected communist festivals in czechoslovak press (visual presentation)
Páleníčková, Nikola ; Lábová, Alena (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
Tématem předkládané bakalářské práce je Mediální obraz vybraných komunistických svátků v československém tisku. Práce se zaměřuje na celostátní tělovýchovné akce - spartakiády - konané v letech 1950, 1960 a 1985 a jejich vizuální prezentaci v týdenících Vlasta a Mladý svět. Jejím cílem je ukázat prostřednictvím kvantitativní analýzy snímků na obrazové pokrytí události v rámci vybraných titulů. Teoretická část poskytuje základní charakteristiku fotožurnalismu včetně vybraných žánrů žurnalistické fotografie a historii spartakiád. V analytické části jsem pomocí metody kvantitativní obrazové analýzy zkoumala zpracování události na stranách titulů. Výsledek výzkumu poskytuje srovnání přístupu k publikování události v jednotlivých týdenících a snaží se zodpovědět hypotézu, zda měli fotoreportéři při spartakiádě oproti ostatním akcím větší možnost zachycovat událost velkého společenského významu.
