The development of czech sport's photojournalism from the middle of 20th century
Hejbal, Dominik ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Teplá, Jana (referee)
The paper deals with the development of the Czech journalistic sport photography from mid 20th century until recent time. Conditions that influenced the work of sports photographers are mapped, whether it was technical equipment, political constraints or other relevant facts. The paper mentions key events that have had importance in the Czech sports photography. The very beginnings of the Czech sports photography are described, too, to add context with the period followed. Furthermore, some noteworthy cases are mentioned, such as career change of a professional sportsman to a sport photographer. Ethically doubtful practices, once quite frequent, are followed, too. Another infrequently studied area of interest is discussed, which is the phenomenon of successful pictures of neglected events.

How War Photography Can Influence Public Opinion.

Because the reality of war is so far from our own, images captured from the field become the only visuals shaping our understanding of the course of events. This gives war photography a unique power that can be used to influence masses. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the ways in which such photographs can be used to shape public opinion. It offers a theoretical understanding of the influences that are involved in forming the final effect a photograph has on its viewer. Then it specifies how these influences have been used by examining the visual representation of two wars: the War in Vietnam and the Spanish Civil War. My findings will be supported by my own experience of documenting the refugee crisis in the Balkans.
