The role of social media in communication of political leaders
Bartůněk, Michal ; Štětka, Václav (advisor) ; Zápotocký, Jan (referee)
It is a well-known that the role of social media in contemporary political communication is increasing. A great deal is being written and said about the online campaign of Barack Obama in 2008. In our environment, dispel any doubt in this regard, the presidential elections in January 2013. However, the attention of scientists is primarily focused on the analysis of online communication during the election campaign. Against this background, the bachelor thesis aims to analyze communication in a period when no election campaign is taking place. Our purpose is not to focus on the political parties, as it is usual in the Czech political environment, but we try to apply the concept of personalization on the communication of political leaders. Through the analysis of data collected from facebook's profiles of six leaders, we are trying to capture the character and basic trends of political communication on social network sites.

The growth of Nollywood against the backdrop of globalization processes in the media world
Černá, Jana ; Štětka, Václav (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
The Nigerian entertainment industry called Nollywood has for several years been one of the top audiovisual producers worldwide in regards to the volume of media produced. However, its market is to a large extent isolated from the dominant media flows, which has inspired interest for a detailed study of its role in the global cultural scene. The thesis is a theoretical treatise about the history and the present situation of Nollywood, which the author discusses in the context of the two seemingly oppositional paradigms of the globalization discourse: cultural imperialism and cultural globalization. To gather the most up-to-date and the most complex information, the thesis uses theoretical methods, such as the analysis, synthesis and comparison of the articles found in science journals and literature. The text is comprised of three main parts. After a brief introduction into the current situation in Nigeria and the historical development of its audiovisual media, the second chapter discusses the birth of Nollywood for the first time in the Czech academia, as well as its current production and distribution principles. In this part of the thesis, the focus is given to the description of the extent of Nollywood's influence in the world, including the Czech Republic, talking both about the audience size...
