Perinpanayagam, Angela Nivandranee ; Potůček, Martin (advisor) ; Frič, Pavol (referee)
This thesis brings to you a salient theme: Private for-Profit News Media (Print and Broadcast; irrespective of the platform on which it is disseminated) based on an interesting topic: Migration in order to explore theoretically and empirically how to model the social impact of the existence of media in a given socio-political, economic, legal and cultural context namely the United States of America and the United Kingdom at a given period: Year 2015. The study of media in policy studies has been a relatively neglected area in the past and as a student of Public and Social Policy one finds this a most suitable opportunity to do otherwise.
