In the first part, I complicate the theoretical basis. I first concerned with social constructionism of issue, media communication and key terms in media and environment. In empirical part is used the qualitative research strategy - an analysis of interviews with environmental journalists from news journals, weekly magazines and websites and analysis of information sources. I described relationship, opinions and values of environmental journalists to environment and nature. I identified the working routines and I completed it by the analysis of information sources. Important information sources are expert, non governance organization, states institutions in the environmental area. Experts and states institutions are primary defining. This research confirmed authority orientation of news. Journalists feel the autonomy in selection of topic, but I recorded pressures and controls from the media organizations. Journalists have a close relationship to nature and the environment, its protection is seen as important. Conservation lies in the modesty and sustainability.

This work is based on the article by Jan Keller (2000) - Praise of Gardeners, in which Jan Keller mentioned garden allotments as places distatnt to globalized economy and consumerist lifestyle of today's world.

This work can help to get an idea of the benefits of the garden allotments not only for gardeners but for all inhabitants of the capital. For this purpose, I conducted a field research accompanied by a number of interviews in the garden allotments. Technomat and Cibulka in Prague. I have gained a lot of informations about life in the garden allotments as well as about the relationship of the respondents to their own gardens. I watched whether and to what extend is the life in the garden allotments influenced by the economic, ecological, social and propert-legal aspects. Research shows that gardeners actually live a non-consumerist way of life and partly resisting market mechanism, but only inside of the garden allotments, not outside. Their environmental friendly behavior is due to external factors rather than internal as personal beliefs. The garden allotments do not have such important role in social terms as it may seem at the first sight, but on the other...
