The elite of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia on the pages of Rudé právo in 50s´ of 20th century .
STEHLÍK, Petr
This diploma thesis deals with a detailed analysis of the daily Rudé právo in 1951 - 1960. It is focused in detail on leading representatives of the Communist Party and their impact on the situation in the former Czechoslovakia in ´50s, as well as on significant events in this period. The work will consist in comparing the real facts and distorted facts about personalities and events of that time as they were presented by Rudé právo as the propaganda newspaper of the Communist Party. The main aim of the thesis is to make a reader aware of the impartiality of Rudé právo which played a dominant role in the former media scene and greatly influenced the general public who did not have the opportunity to compare information with other news. It is important as well to the reader understand how powerful the media had already been that time, when Rudé právo was able to significantly support a cult of personality mainly around Klement Gottwald and J. V. Stalin, when a reader had no opportunity to gain any information than what the governance of communist Czechoslovakia wanted to. Besides the already mentioned cults of personalities the work will deal with propaganda of communism, the Soviet Union and the anti-Americanism which was propagated mainly between 1950 - 1953 in almost every issue of the newspaper. After reading this thesis, the reader should understand the content of Rudé právo and its importance. He should realize that the main aim was to arouse belief of the citizens of Czechoslovakia that "Western world", especially the United States, is an enemy that wants to control the whole world and that its leaders are the aggressors and the enemies of peace. The Soviet Union and its leaders should then be the protection against so-called warmongers from the USA. Due to then lack of information it was very difficult for an average working Czechoslovak reader to know that the reality was quite the opposite.

Women's Columns in 1920's Newspaper and their Authors: Olga Fastrová, Marie Fantová, Milena Jesenská, Staša Jílovská and Zdena Wattersonová
Penkalová, Lenka ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Burešová, Jana (referee) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
In my doctoral thesis I decided to explore a genre of so called women's columns, specialized newspaper sections which were created to satisfy namely female audiences. First women's columns appeared in the end of 19th century in the United States and quickly became very popular. Although newspaper writing for women was a significant phenomenon of popular culture during the first decades of 20th century, czech media historians have so far payed almost no attention to this quite interesting topic. Because of the lack of information about constitution, development and characteristics of women's columns in czechoslovak newspaper after 1918 I focused on basic research of selected czech dailies (Lidové noviny, Národní listy, Tribuna, Národní politika, Prager Presse) and tried to follow how these newspapers formed and operated pages meant for female readers. Specifically I studied contents, layout, typography, style and authors of czech women's columns in the chosen period (1918-1930). My aim was to show that women's columns were important both for editors and for readers and that main authors of those columns (characterized in five biographical chapters) considerably took part on discussion about lifestyle, family and gender issues of the time.

Separation of Czechoslovakia in selected printed media : representation of Czech politicians in Lidové noviny and Rudé právo
Machová, Gabriela ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
My objective in this work is to ascertain how often and in what way Czech politicians and political parties were represented within news reports of the break up of Czechoslovakia. For this purpose, I'm examining the content of two Czech nation-wide dailies, Lidove noviny and Rude pravo. The research covers the time period stretching from October 1992 to March 1993, representing the three months before and the three months following the actual separation. My hypothesis is that Rude pravo preferred the opposition parties, which were unsympathetic to the split. On the other hand, I supposed that Lidove noviny would be favorably inclined to the coalition parties as well as Vaclav Havel. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
