Zábrodská, Kristina ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Burešová, Jana (referee)
The doctoral thesis Gastronomy as a part of life style in the Czech national print media in the period between the wars in Czechoslovak Republic presents the results of eight years long research of food journalism in the Czech press between 1918 and 1938. This period called First Republic is often seen, due the positive sentiment, as a modern, democratic and prosperous state. The reality is a different. This text presents just a little part of picture of life style during First Republic which is gastronomy. That mirrors the economic and social level of the society. This text reflects critically the historical facts. The assumption, that print media pay regularly attention to the gastronomy as an integral part of life is important idea of this research. The content analysis proofs, that food journalism had its own section in the analyzed daily print, although media didn't used this kind of terminology. Five national newspapers (Lidové noviny, Národní politika, České slovo, Právo lidu and Venkov) were issued in the period 1918-1938 and newspapers Rudé právo established 1920 are included in the analysis.

Main events of the period of dissolution of the Soviet Union in Czech media
Mališová, Klára ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Just, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with how three chosen Czech daily newspapers - Rudé právo, Mladá fronta (later Mladá fronta DNES) and Lidové noviny - wrote about significant events that took place in the union republics during the last three years of the Soviet Union's existence (1989-1991). It specifically focuses on those events through which the republics were trying to regain freedom and independence for themselves - either through protests, or in a political matter. The thesis also addresses events that were somehow groundbreaking or during which ordinary people, who went to the streets to express their dissaproval of current political situation or to defend legally elected bodies, lost their lives. The thesis uses qualitative analysis to find out if there was a difference in how these three selected Czech newspapers wrote about such events in the context of changes that occured in the Czech political and media system, and if each own coverage somehow evolved.

Pěkná, Anna ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis The Dissolution of the Soviet Union and the year 1991 in the contemporary Czech press aims to describe how the Czech daily newspapers Rude pravo, Mlada fronta Dnes and Lidove noviny reported on the events of 1991 connected with the collapse of the Soviet Union. For this purpose, it uses a qualitative content analysis of news and opinion articles published in the aforementioned newspapers in the period from 1 June to 31 December 1991. The thesis focuses on six key events of 1991: the election of Boris Yeltsin as president of the RSFSR, the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the G7 summit in London, the August coup, the Belavezha Accords and the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev as president of the USSR. Based on the data collected, it describes what aspects of the chosen events the newspapers emphasized, how they portrayed the personalities associated with these events, how they used news agencies and their own foreign correspondents in doing so, and whether they differed in any way in these respects. The thesis also aims to capture part of the Czech media scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the impact of the newly acquired press freedom on their coverage of the Soviet Union.

Vašatová, Anna ; Schneiderová, Soňa (advisor) ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (referee)
Using the method of critical discourse analysis, the work examines which tools of linguistic propaganda were used in selected issues of the daily Rudé právo from the second half of the year 1969. The theoretical section describes the theory of propaganda and linguistic tools of propaganda, which tend to be used the most frequently. A significant part of the work deals with socialist ideology and symbolism and is based primarily on essays by Vladimír Macura, the expert on the given topic. The primary purpose of this work is to detect and subsequently interpret elements of propaganda language in articles from the daily Rudé právo and also to assess whether linguistic practices have evolved during the year 1969.

The Pentagon Papers: From reality and news to film adaptations and film reviews
Hejduk, Adam ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Doležal, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis entitled "The Pentagon Papers Affair - From Reality and Newspaper News to Movie Adaptation and Film Reviews" offers a detailed description of the so-called Pentagon Papers affair, which consisted of the publication of a secret government study on US involvement in the Vietnam War in the leading American press. To better understand the causes of this affair, the work describes the historical context of the Cold and Vietnam War. The process by which the secret study reached the front pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post and many others American newspapers is illustrated by the life of Daniel Ellsberg, who worked for the US government for a long time and became the first whistleblower by stealing and publishing the secret study. The work also analyzes the image created by the Czechoslovak press about the affair, specifically by Rudé právo, which used the affair for communist propaganda for the ruling Communist Party. The content of the work is also a dramaturgical analysis of the latest film adaptation of this affair, the Movie The Post from 2017, and its authenticity is assessed in terms of the depiction of main characters and compliance with real historical events. Briefly, the work also deals with the analysis of the evaluation of this film, both from the...
