News sources and thier journalists. The issue of diversity resources in the context of the sociology of news
Křížová, Vendula ; Trampota, Tomáš (advisor) ; Trunečková, Ludmila (referee)
The thesis "News sources and their journalists : the issue of diversity resources in the context of the sociology of news" summarizes the current knowledge and understanding of sociology of news and sources and adds a bio-anthropological look at the strength and stability of relationships between the sources and journalists. These concepts will be then applied in quantitative research affecting the characteristics of sources cited in three selected Czech daily (Hospodářské noviny, Mladá fronta DNES and Právo). The survey of similar scope has not yet been generated in the Czech Republic. Research results follow the theoretical concepts and empirical researches and agree with them that the journalists in their daily routine work regularly turn to the "elite group of resources" for quotations. These sources are also quoted more often than other sources. However, there are so many people in the group of information resources spread around the editorial offices of newspapers that it is almost impossible to talk about lack of diversity of sources. Research also confirmed that different types of media dont differ at all from each other in the basic parameters and are turning to the same types of resources regularly and with the same frequency.
