Havelka, Vít ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the financing and broadcasting councils of the public service broadcasters in Austria and the Czech Republic, examining namely Austrian Broadcasting (Österreichischer Rundfunk) and Czech Television (Česká televize) along with Czech Radio (Český rozhlas). These institutions are often at the center of controversy due to their level of dependence on local political representatives. Their critics argue that they submit to political pressure and give up one of their main purposes - providing an objective, independent, unbiased, and balanced news service. The independence of public service broadcasters generally relies on stable, predictable funding and impartial supervision. For this reason, these two features are analyzed in this paper. More specifically, it examines how the aforementioned media are financed, how the broadcasting councils are appointed, and how the status quo interacts with the local political culture. On top of that, the discussion involves international recommendations of institutions such as the European Council, the European Union and UNESCO. This thesis makes use of the synchronous comparative methodological approach. At first the situation in each country is analyzed and subsequently compared to one another. This paper provides an overview over the...

The compilation treatise shows that there was a considerable asymmetry between the American and German staff in Radio Munich. The number of Germans that could have participated in the programme production was gradually increased since the launch of broadcasting in May 1945, but there were Americans who had the authority, to decide about the employment of applicants and binding rules for all staff. The entirety of the programme was under U. S. control before its broadcasting. At the turn of the year 1945/1946, an obvious disagreement arose between members of the U. S. occupation administration and official U. S. policy towards Germany. Whereas the U. S. government required to withdraw its forces and make the radio broadcasting speedily independent, the Americans in the management of Bavarian radio didn't agree with that operation, because they were convinced the local personnel wasn't ready to take over full responsibility. They emphasised that the...
