This thesis deals with the way how Czech newspaper reported about Greek debt crisis and which frames were used to illustrate Greece. In the theoretical part the history of Greece is described, since independence till the debt crisis. The historical context captures difficult times of Greek history which contributed to the spiral of dept crisis lasting from 2010 to 2018. In the following part some of the important concepts concerning agenda setting, gatekeeping and frame analysis are compared. Some of the important foreign studies concerning frame theory and even framing of the Greek debt crisis in Czech media are depicted. The methodology of the thesis is formed by a qualitative analysis of the articles from two peaks of the crisis - the first half of 2010 and the first half of 2015.

Dimitriou, Dafni ; Tsivos, Konstantinos (advisor) ; Šípová, Pavlína (referee)
This bachelor's thesis aims to mediate the response of the Greek National Liberation Revolution in Czech periodicals of that time, on the occasion of its two hundred years anniversary. The thesis deals with the social and political perception of the revolution in its first years by the Czech revival elite. Main focus lies in the magazine Čechoslaw, which during the first two years of the uprising (1821-1822) brings contibutions of journalists who express themselves freely on the situation in Greece. It testifies about sympathies of Czech revivalists towards Greek fellow believers, their outstanding orientation in European politics and their timeless opinions. The upcoming years (1823-1824) in Čechoslaw present an echoing response of the revolution affected by a strict censorschip. A more comprehensive view of the response to the Greek Revolution is complemented by a short treatise on the nature of news in two major periodicals, namely the Dopisowatel pro Čechy a Morawany and the Wlastenský zwěstovatel. The historical context of the Greek National Liberation Revolution is presented in more detail, followed by a brief outline of its course and an introduction of the first Greek periodicals published in the Greek diaspora in Vienna. In this context, the beginnings of the Czech national revival and the...
