Diploma thesis "Launch of the public-service culture channel: Broadcast analysis of ČT art until the year 2014" describes the origin and development of the channel ČT art, including an analysis of how it influenced the transformation of ČT2. This thesis, therefore, includes the programme composition of both channels monitoring the period from autumn 2013 to autumn 2014, as well as the programme composition of ČT2 from autumn 2012. This allows us to evaluate how ČT2 attended to cultural broadcasting before the launch of the new and thematically specialized channel ČT art. Moreover, the thesis tries to point out the trends taking place in television broadcasting such as digitalization, fragmentation of TV audiences and media convergence. These trends are illustrated by using specific examples from the Czech Television, as well as the theoretical foundation. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on describing public-service media, services they provide and their roles in fulfilling the cultural needs of society. In addition, it also draws attention to examples of culturally oriented channels within Europe.

Normalization-era cinematography in Czech current television broadcasting
Jabůrek, Václav ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
There are lots of studies about normalization cinematography, its content or historical context of its creation. But there was no research about its presence in post-communist television broadcast in the Czech Republic. This work takes a look on five biggest TV channels - ČT1, ČT2, Nova, Prima and Barrandov - in eight chosen years between 1994 and 2015. Content analysis shows, how are Czech televisions dealing with movies and series from communist era, and whether there are any long-term trends connected with this genre. Thanks to the research method, we can see how the usage of those titles has developed up to present. Study also focuses on programmes during weekends and holidays and the amount of normalization movies on these occasions. One part of this work is dealing with communist propaganda and its presence in current broadcast. As Harald Welzer's studies show, old movies are hugely affecting people's understanding of historical events. Therefore, this survey focuses on Czechoslovak movies, which are falsifying modern history such as TV series Thirty Cases of Major Zeman or comedy Bourlive vino. Apart from those cases, less propagandistic movies have also been examined. For example those showing idealized image of normalization society and values of the former regime.

Exposure of Marilyn Manson in the Czech press
Mašek, Filip ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Hroch, Miloš (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the American singer Marilyn Manson and his reflection in the mass media. Marilyn Manson becomes well-known in the early 90's of the 20th century and soon becomes a leading figure of the global music scene and one of the most controversial products of the American pop culture. His work, loudly criticizing the American society and religion in general, both shocks and entertains the public and causes one of the first major global discourses on the influence of violence and brutal art on the youth. He is accused of encourageing people to illegal actions, drugs and promoting homosexuality and sadism. Mass media are very present in all of Manson's career and that is the main interest of this thesis. The first part chronologically presents the artist's life and career and mentions the biggest controversies, which arose in the context of his work. The second part deals with the Czech media and looks into the trend of how was the public informed about Manson via musical and non-musical periodicals and their online versions since the international breakthrough in 1996 until today. Third part presents the survey on Marilyn Manson and also on the relations of controversy and media in general.
