Media Image of Deputies in Czech Daily Press
Sůsa, Richard ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Charvát, Jakub (referee)
1 Abstract Diploma thesis Media Image of Deputies in Czech Daily Press focuses on the identification of factors influencing the media image of certain Czech high-profile politicians. A three- year research period analyses the depiction of all members of the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. Four Czech daily newspapers with the highest readership figures are chosen for the analysis, the sample is selected via the constructed weeks method. For clarity and to avoid the possible influence of strong media attention directed at the members of government, only the deputies who do not hold such executive office are included. The opening chapters provide an overview of a theoretical approach to political communication development and studies, as well as international research on politicians' media visibility. An extensive chapter depicts the establishment of an original Czech parliament-the Czech National Council-as well as its role in the establishment of the Czech Republic and the position of the Chamber of Deputies in the country's current political system set by the Constitution. As it holds a slight significance for the way politics is presented in the media, an overview of the electoral system and its main influential reforms is also included in this thesis. The...

The topic of this diploma thesis is the way how the media described the Spanish flu in selected historical press in the years 1918-1920. The main method used is a quantitative content analysis, which enables the examination of a larger volume of data.

Media image of the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and Elizabeth II. in the Czech press
Beranová, Monika ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Růžička, Daniel (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on analyzing the media image of two significant political and cultural figures, Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II. Both figures passed away shortly after each other in 2023. The text describes in detail the lives and political careers of both figures, their impact on the world, and the current perception of their characters. Mikhail Gorbachev is often referred to as the greatest politician of the 20th century. He served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991 and was also its sole President from 1990 to 1991. He advocated for economic and political changes that led to the democratization of the Soviet Union. In 1990, he even received the Nobel Peace Prize. The figure of Mikhail Gorbachev is still perceived very differently by Russians, the global public, politicians, and the academic community. Gorbachev himself was never fully identified as the architect of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Queen Elizabeth II reigned as the Queen of fifteen independent states known as the Commonwealth realm from 1952 to 2022. During her reign, there were several significant milestones that influenced the perception of the Queen and the entire British royal family. As an example, her ascension to the throne and coronation in 1953 was...

Lukášová, Kateřina ; Končelík, Jakub (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on an analysis of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution that took place on April 15, 1974 and its media image in the Czechoslovak press of that time. The Carnation Revolution was a non-violent military coup that overthrew the long-term dictatorial Estado Novo regime and started the process of democratization. This process faced many challenges, it took two years to form a democratically elected parliament that approved the constitution of the newly formed Portuguese Republic. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to compare the interpretation of the Carnation Revolution and its key moments, that threatened the democratization process, in the Czechoslovak newspaper Rudé právo with historical sources to determine whether the official party press of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia deviated from them in order to glorify the Portuguese Communist Party and their actions in the Provisional Government. At the same time, this thesis compares the interpretation of the Portuguese regime transformation in exile press Svědectví and Listy. The analysed events are: the Carnation Revolution (April, 25 1974), the September attempt of a political coup (September, 30 1974), the March attempt of a political coup (March 12, 1975) during the democratization process and the formation of...
