Comparison of media image of islam in german and czech media: before and after the murder of Then Van Gogh
Kotasová, Martina ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Štechová, Markéta (referee)
This bachelor thesis compares the media image of Islam in German and Czech media before and after the murder of the Dutch director Theo van Gogh. He was assassinated on 2 November 2004. His murderer was young Muslim Mohammed Bouyeri. Van Gogh's murder caused the wave of violence in the Netherlands. In Germany it caused many concerns, because there is a large Turkish minority and other Arabic minorities. The impulse for the assassination was probably van Gogh's film Submission, which questioned the Islam stereotypes and criticized the treatment of women. After his murder the political debate on the issues of integration and immigration arose in the Western Europe. This bachelor thesis analyzes articles from German and Czech media, namely from the weekly magazine Der Spiegel and from the journal Mladá fronta DNES and uses the qualitative content analysis and the method of the grounded theory. This thesis is divided into two main chapters.

Pokorná, Kateřina ; Macků, Lucie (advisor) ; Zábrodská, Kristina (referee)
The aim of the thesis "The media image of farmers' markets" is to describe the development of the media image of Prague farmers' markets, as presented by MF DNES in 2010 and the first half of 2011. The research was carried out using a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis and of a survey among the market shoppers. The result is a comparison of the three analyzed periods and focuses on an evaluation of the phenomenon of farmers' markets and presentation of the problems that accompanied them. The analysis showed that the media image in 2010 was uncritical. Articles about farmers' markets were distinctly favorable, showing only positive feedback. Markets were also associated with policies of the respective Prague districts, which were given credit for establishing them. Although the daily began to report on problems of the markets in the first half of 2011, survey among the shoppers showed that negative messages did not affected their shopping behavior and confidence in markets.

The role of social in the beginnings of the 2011 Egyptian revolution
Vrbková, Jana ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The Egyptian 2011 revolution is presented in media - as well as statements made by organisations participating in the overthrowing of Hosni Mubarak's regime - as a social media revolution. Despite the fact that internet has been shut down on the government's order on 28th January, just after three days of street protests, therefore forcing the social media revolution to go offline. This paper describes the role of social media in the events of the beginning of the revolution via qualitative content analysis. It focuses on the official Facebook communication of two prominent anti-Mubarak organisations - We Are All Khaled Said and April 6th Youth Movement - in the period between 9th January and 11th February, from the day of first invitation to a 25th January protest to the day Hosni Mubarak resigned. I have identified following sub-themes in the revolution-themed posts: 25th January - the nature of the event, the role of the activist group, organisation, internet shutdown, safety measures, propagation, news reporting, Facebook and event evaluation. The result of my research is that Facebook - albeit important - was only one of the tools of communication, propagation and organization actively employed by both of the anti- Mubarak groups. While useful - and actually promoted as a tool to save Egypt by...

Semotánová, Adéla ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Řezáčová, Vendula (referee)
The subject of the thesis is meanings of the physical exercising presented in the Czech women magazines, which I explored through qualitative content analysis of the articles focused on exercising. Three relevant frames or research areas emerged from foreign literature, which became the frames of the analysis: value of the exercise related to the body, the exercise as possible social field and gender level of these practices. I was specifically interested, if the exercise is presented as activity that helps to create socially disciplined body or individually restituted body for personal needs. Or if the exercise creates specific social field - sphere with specific relationship, rules and capital and if the gender is an important factor, connected to the presentation of the exercises in magazines, focused on women. The results show that the exercise is activity that creates the restituted body so as the disciplined body. It is not possible to define, if it is specific social field. The articles content so positive indications as those, which do not comply with the social field definition. Ideal femininity and ideal woman body should be reached by exercising. This ideal woman identity varies from reader's identity, which magazines define as "common" woman. The gender is an important factor that has...
