Milena Jesenská and her work for Lidové noviny and Přítomnost
Němečková, Sára ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the journalistic works of Milena Jesenská not only in Lidové noviny but also in the magazine Přítomnost in 1929 - 1930, resp. in 1937 - 1939. In her works we can find a number of repetitive topics. Most of them have in large part roots in her life. Her literaty output is permanently penetrated by her permanent need to help her surroundings and to protect her weaker residents, which is according to author's biographers for Milena Jesenská sheer crucial. The author stood in the years 1929 - 1930 as the head of women's section of Lidové noviny and was trying very hardly to fight for the change of the form of this section in the print at that time. Another significant topic was the issue of a modern woman and her role in the society at that time. The thesis deals also with the resonance of social relations and historic events in the examined texts. Politically tuned reflections or reports and reportage by Milena Jesenská in the magazine Přítomnost bring an authentic perspective to the atmosphere in the Czechoslovak society at that time.

Period printed media reaction to the allied air raids on Pilsen area in spring 1943
Helikarová, Petra ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with media coverage of two allied air strikes against the Pilsen Region in the spring of 1943. The bombing was carried out by the British RAF on the night from 16 to 17 April 1943 and from 13 to 14 May with the objective to hit the Škoda Works in Pilsen, the most important arms factory in the Protectorate. The strikes were not successful from the Allies' perspective. In the April strike, Dobřany, which is 11 km away, was hit instead of the Pilsen factory complex when the pilots mistook the local mental asylum for the Pilsen Škoda Works. The May strike was more successful. The Škoda factory was hit but not in a way that would paralyse its production. In addition, it also hit civilian targets. The essay opens with an overview of the situation in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the printed periodic media of that time and the system of censorship, followed by a brief introduction to Pilsen's history at the time of the Protectorate as well as a description of the actual air strikes by a current historian. In terms of the actual analysis, the essay focuses on a two-week period immediately following the bombing, i.e. from 17 April to 1 May and from 14 May to 1 June 1943. The material used in the work contains four groups of periodicals - nationwide legal (Večerní České...

The Reverent Act on Lidice in 1945 - mass media reflexion v. historical facts and survior's memories
Miková, Martina ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
Bachelor's thesis The Reverent Act in Lidice in 1945 - mass media reflexion v. historical facts and survivor's memories provides, as the name already predicts, insight into the issues of post-war production of the representative Czechoslovakian media. How did the publications and the radio back then inform about the event which had an impact far beyond internal affairs? In which context did the media remind the general public of the tragedy of Lidice? Did the mass media use their capacity for cooperation in recovering missing women and children? How did they deal with the blame of Nazi criminals and the blame of the entire German nation as a whole? What was the point of view of the media of the Reverent Act? And how large a part of its original record did they get over to the general public? Were pieces of information rather true or not? Was the Reverent Act abused by the media for the propagation of their own ideological interests? Which reflection did they make of western countries and how much did it differ from a reflection of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? The author of this Bachelor's thesis tried to find answers to these and the following questions. The thesis is based primarily on the exploration of extant archival material, such as the articles in Lidová demokracie, Právo lidu,...

Dzeraviaha, Hanna ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The present thesis is dedicated to the thematic agenda of the magazine Svět sovětů (The World of Soviets) during the pre-war period (1934 - 1938) and the post-war years (1945 - 1946) as well as the image of the Soviet women that this magazine was forming.

Cvachovcová, Klára ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This thesis concentrates on 1938 radio broadcast Pravda vítězí (The Truth Will Win), broadcasted from Vienna in both Czech and Slovak languages in the two months preceding and following the signing of the Munich agreement. Its theoretical part follows the genesis of the two broadcasts, the personalities involved and also the connection between Pravda vítězí and Vlajka, the infamous Czech fascist movement. In the practical part, Nazi propaganda themes are being analyzed in both broadcasts during October 1938. Main focus is on the campaigns against president Beneš, against freemasonry and bolshevism, pro-German campaign and antisemitism. In the Slovak language broadcast, anti-Czech campaign was a significant part of the Nazi propaganda, along with the support of Slovak separatism. Comparison of the ideological focus and goals of both broadcasts is supported by numerous quotations. In the final part, the thesis offers a brief look at the reactions to the broadcasts. Also, it attempts to evaluate the broadcasts' possible effects on both Czech and Slovak audience in the light of its primary goal - the disintegration of Czechoslovakia.
