Baierl, Tomáš ; Teplá, Jana (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
This thesis examines by using content analysis the selection of photos in some Czech newspaper (Mladá fronta DNES, Hospodářské noviny, Blesk, Právo) before the first direct presidential election in 2013. First direct presidential election in the country's history is a topic that has not been treated in a similar method, therefore this work is in its focus. Research questions in the empirical part are focused on photograph size, the frequency of posting the photographs, positioning photographs on the front page, the connection to political orientation and the connection to polls. Content analysis has more than one thousand rows of data. The output is several variables, such as photograph size, page number, connection to candidate's profession, theme of the picture or photo environment. The focus is placed on the high amount of input data, and this ensures a sufficient sample to study, which in effect increases the relevance of the work. Finally, the theoretical basis for the work is based on the concept of agenda-setting and the importance of photographs in the media.

Stoszková, Šárka ; Halada, Jan (advisor) ; Sekera, Martin (referee)
The thesis "Looking through the lens of the Czech daily newspaper Mlada fronta for 65 years" examines the topic of the liberation of Czechoslovakia in May, 1945. The qualitative content analysis of selected texts available from the newspaper is used to explore the interpretation of the event in Mlada fronta. The thesis has concentrated on the development of attitudes, beliefs, ways of communications and journalistic transformation of media content concerning the liberation event over time. The main objective has been to answer the question as to whether the media portrayal of the event has remained constant or altered over the stated time period and which factors influenced the portrayal.

This indicates a form of totalitarian hegemony. During periods of greater totalitarianism, the newspaper tends to describe the theme of the freedom completely within that communist ideology. However,...
