Čentíš, Jan ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Tříska, Dušan (referee)
This thesis discusses the issue of media consumption among university and high school students in the Czech Republic. Following a foreign study, regressive models extended by new variable quantities are applied to a sample of 490 students, the influence on media consumption of which has never been quantified in the Czech realm. The important conclusion of this paper is the identification of different consumer habits among the analyzed group of students. The age of the student plays a significant role, as it has been proven that as a student ages, he or she spends more time using media. The age factor is also considerable in the selection of individual media, as traditional media and internet news servers are mostly preferred among older students.During the prediction of consumption, a substantial influence was identified among the newly applied variables, such as the ownership of electronic devices,the subscription to daily press, or even the situation when a student lives in a common household with their parents. On the other hand, there was no significant influence found with regard to either students'or their parents' income, or the students' working status. Additionally, contingent on the analysis, the relation between traditional and new media was examined.Based on the obtained results, we support the assertion that according to students the relation between these two media types is competitive, as far as consumption is concerned.
