Burian, Jakub ; Hájek, Roman (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
Slow journalism is a trend that stands against the current forms of journalism. It doesn't need to get the stunning and sensational news first. Instead, it puts information into perspective, offers deeper insight into the aspects of journalism and carefully crafts the contents of each issue. The concept of slow journalism is attracting more followers still and all the new press emerging especially abroad can be considered a proof of this trend. This bachelor thesis first offers a short insight into the history of journalism and analyzes the current media environment which is influenced mainly by advances in technology. Subsequently, this thesis introduces the concept of slow journalism as a trend that diverges from the current fragmentary and abbreviating journalism and returns to the roots of the traditional journalism itself. In the next part of this thesis its main characteristics are introduced as well as the most important representatives of slow journalism abroad. The last part of the thesis describes the origins and business operations of the Czech magazine Reporter which has been established in 2014 by the former editor in chief of MF DNES Robert Čásenský, with whom also a few of his former colleagues joined the magazine. The aim of this thesis is to show the aspects of slow journalism...

Štáfová, Monika ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Dominik, Šimon (referee)
The objective of this thesis, The Image of a Journalist in Hollywood Film, is to interpret the images of journalists created in Hollywood films in the period from 1997 to 2007 by means of qualitative and comparative analyses. The analysis is carried out based on journalist characters appearing as protagonists in thirteen motion pictures from the given period. The comparison of the characters is executed within three groups, classified according to the type of journalist - investigative journalists, celebrity and lifestyle journalists and television anchormen and reporters. The characters are compared to each other from the point of view of physical appearance, character traits, family and social relations, their attitude towards authorities, the most common stereotypes and other character's perception of them. The summarization and data evaluation of the analysis confirms that journalist stereotypes do not often occur in this period, the protagonists are predominantly portrayed as heroes and that the differences outweigh the similarities.

Paráčková, Markéta ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Newsroom of TV Nova at the Beginning of the Second Decade of the 21st Century" describes everyday life in a modern private television's newsroom in the age of speed, technical achievements and visual attraction. It also defines important aspects of daily work in the newsroom and interactions among its members. TV Nova's newsroom produces the most watched news cast in the Czech Republic; however it does not contain tens of reporters. Chamber character of the newsroom reflects in friendly relationships and close cooperation among all its members. This limits rivalry to a certain degree. Newsroom TV Nova, considering several news cast produced during the day, works constantly. Except of the weekends, news for Breakfast with Nova are prepared during the night and there are preparation for afternoon and evening news casts running since early morning. Therefore, the newsroom is never empty. Demanding everyday working hours have built a certain routine in numerous reporters. Those, who work here for many years, even suggest feelings of "burn out". Freshmen on the other hand consider working scheme appropriate.

First of them is the theory of social responsibility, which is a strong social value despite being quite questionable.

The first part of the thesis serves as a contextual background for the critical discourse analysis. The analysis verifies the hypothesis as follows: Alternative media is defined in opposition to the mainstream and uses the arguments based on the principles of the social responsibility theory to represent its own position, goals and interests. As a result, we found out, that the new projects construct an opposition us versus them as independence versus oligarchization. At the same time, the principles of...
