Řehák, Matěj ; Macková, Veronika (advisor) ; Chladová, Marta (referee)
Czech football players František Rajtoral, David Bystroň, Pavel Pergl and hockey player Adam Svoboda have all lost their lives in time period between years 2017 a 2019. All of the mentioned deaths were caused by suicide. Death and suicide discourses are both very sensitive topics in media, although they are quite common. There are not even much handbooks or manuals how to cover these incidents properly. Ethical and moral codex plays a much bigger role here because of sensitive perception of death and suicide in society. Media still try to be more popular than their rivals, thus they turn to tabloidization even in reports about deaths of athletes. These incidents meet usual news values as negativity, surprise and relationship to elite people, so they are usually very popular. Responsible journalism and cautiousness are necessary in these cases, otherwise there is a risk of misinterpretation of reality between media consumers and also have negative impact on people suffering from suicidal tendencies. Research of this essay focuses on analyzing the articles about mentioned sportsmen, which should reveal problematic aspects of professional news reporting about these kinds of events.

The main goal of this diploma thesis was to find patterns on the pages of Na vlastní oči (With One's Own Eyes) title that define gutter press in its specific form of political tabloid. The analysis was concerned with the time period from 2016 to 2019 during which the said title was published in total of four waves each of which related to the relevant pre-election campaign. The Na vlastní oči title was initially published anonymously and only later Jan Čížek, publisher of the regional town-hall newspaper and a Freedom and Direct Democracy Party (SPD) candidate, claimed to be the publisher. SPD subsequently became the final sponsor of the newspaper. In the first wave of publishing activity, the authors of the title focused on a disparaging campaign against the then-candidate for the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Parliament and, in a broader context, against the whole opposition within the City Council of the Prague 10 City Ward. In its later publications, the newspaper dealt mostly with topics aimed at spreading fear of an unspecified danger associated with the refugee crisis and concerns about the unknown in the form of the Islamic Religion which was always associated with the threat of terrorism. In the context of its election programme, SPD also communicated groundless criticism...

Renovica, Vera ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The thesis Construction of Media Reality during Mirek Topolánek's Resignation Period analyses a total of 294 instances of media output published or broadcast between 20th March and 1st April 2010 and dealing with Mirek Topolanek's resignation from his positions within the ODS in the context of his statements for LUI Magazine. The interview dealt with the Jewish faith, homosexual orientation or the voters of the ČSSD. The theoretical part of the thesis elucidates themes related to the construction of reality as described by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, media routines, which can contribute to this phenomenon, and the creation of myth according to Roland Barthes. The research part of the thesis uses the propositions of Critical Discourse Analysis with an emphasis on Critical Linguistics, to isolate discourses, which were used to establish a connection between Topolánek's statements for LUI Magazine and his exit from the ODS and politics in general. A partial analysis also notices how the linguistic tools of tabloid and non-tabloid media were brought closer together. Finally, the Semiotic Analysis focuses on the caricatures of Mirek Topolánek and identifies myths which served as a basis for perceiving his image and the possibility of his further political career.
