Changes in Media with the Arrival of a New Owner. Case Study-MF DNES
Heřmanská, Lucie ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Chudoba, David (referee)
A bachelor's thesis on Changes in Media with the Arrival of a New Owner. Case Study: MF DNES deals with the functioning of periodicals' ownership in the Czech Republic. In particular, it aims to present the current situation in the area with the example of daily newspaper Mladá fronta Dnes, which after many years of operating under a foreign owner, German company Rheinisch-Bergische Verlagsgesellschaft passed into the ownership of Czech businessman and current Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Andrej Babiš. After his entry into the said most popular Czech broadsheet newspaper, doubts began to appear in public discourse on whether media owned by a both politically and entrepreneurially significant person can be independent. This paper therefore monitors changes that have occurred in the Mladá fronta Dnes periodical with the arrival of the new owner, and also whether the media image of Mr. Babiš's person and his interests has been improved upon through the articles of the newspaper. The results presented here were obtained with the use of a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, and they show that there has been a substantial increase in contributions regarding the new owner, though their impact was rather negative.

ANO 2011: a business firm party?
Zavřel, Filip ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This thesis called "ANO 2011: a business-firm party?" deals with the analysis of a Czech political movement ANO 2011 in order to determine wheter and/or to what extent political movement ANO 2011 corresponds with business-firm party model, as described by Jonathan Hopkin and Caterina Paolucci in 1999. It is based on the context of a change of party organization and on logic of developmental typology of political parties. The aim is to determine whether the political movement ANO 2011 corresponds to the characteristics of the business-firm party model. The hypothesis here is that in the beginning of the movement it matched the model, while since than there is moving away to the direction of the form of traditional political parties. In another part there is a contribution described to the revision of business-firm party model that offers a modified perspective on the subject. With this perspective the characteristics of the business-firm party model are rather understood as a marketing strategy or a party subtype than as a separate and generally applicable type of political parties.

Havlová, Laura ; Hájek, Roman (advisor) ; Němeček, Tomáš (referee)
Exploration of the influences that an owner can have on his own media is an important topic nowadays. This master thesis focuses on the possible owner influences on his newspaper in the example of buying of the publishing house Mafra by Agrofert's owner Andrej Babis. It covers articles concerning Agrofert in two of Mafra's dailies - Mlada fronta Dnes and Lidove noviny. The reporting period covers two years before and two years after the purchase of Mafra by the owner of Agrofert and the current Czech Minister of Finance Andrej Babis. This covers the dates 5. 6. 2011 - 24. 6. 2013 and 25. 6. 2013 - 24. 6. 2015. This thesis uses the processes of quantitative content analysis and focuses on the comparison of texts about Agrofert in these two periods. In the sample of 631 articles it examines two dozen categories, such as topic, placement on the page as well as in the daily itself or quotation of Andrej Babis, and it tracks the changes that occurred in both halves of the reporting period. The shift in content of the Mafra's media, after the change of its owner has not been largely examined yet. This means that this thesis brings a first complex insight into the topic. This thesis aims to cover the changes that occurred in the reporting period and paves the way for more specific following researches....
