Important perspective represents students' thinking about the ethical aspects of journalism, as well as their motivation - not only to study the field of journalism but also to pursue it in practice in the sense of employment or career. This thesis explores these themes via qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with undergraduate journalism students from three Czech universities.

Eder, Ivana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The diploma thesis From Zionism to Anti-Zionism: The Transformation of Relationship between Czechoslovakia and Israel in the Pages of Rudé právo (1947-1953) deals with the period in which the relationship between Israel and Czechoslovakia had transformed. Firstly, our focus is on the material and diplomatic support that Czechoslovakia provided to the emerging State of Israel. It then discusses the events that disrupted relations between the two states and led to mutual alienation. Finally, it describes a period when the countries came into open hostility. Czechoslovakia took a very negative attitude towards Zionism. The work outlines two views of these events from 1947 to 1953. The first represents the view of historians based on facts and period documents, by contrast, the second view describes how the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia interpreted world events through its newspaper Rudé právo.

Šatná, Barbora ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The Death of Jan Masaryk" in the periodical press deals with how selected media reported on the person and death of Jan Masaryk in the period from February 25 to March 31, 1948. Specifically, these are the dailies Rudé právo and Svobodné noviny (known as Lidové noviny) . But first, he deals with the person and important events in the life of Jan Masaryk. Subsequently, it presents a brief history of both dailies. He then deals with the analysis of articles in both periodicals. The researched texts could be divided into two periods: first, before Masaryk's death and the second, the days after his death. In the first period, the dailies did not pay much attention to Jan Masaryk. They rarely wrote about him, mostly in connection with forming a new government, of which he became a member. In the second period, the number of texts mentioning his name grew significantly. The most common topic was Masaryk's funeral, first its organization, then its course and Masaryk's interview for the French daily L'ordre, from which both dailies quoted very often. At that time, it was a turning point in Czechoslovakia when non-communist ministers resigned, and Klement Gottwald began to form a government in which the Communists prevailed. At that time, the Communists also controlled print media...

This professional biographical study is organised in chronological order and covers a period of 45 years - from 1924 to 1969 (i.e. from Weiner's birth to his death). Most of the chapters begin with the political-social environment of the time to provide context, as they had a significant influence on Weiner's existence due to his Jewish origin. The main part of the thesis deals with the activities of Weiner in Czechoslovak Radio, where he joined in 1963 as the head of the Redakce mezinárodního života. The text also describes Weiner's family background, his stay in concentration camps and his work as a foreign-news correspondent for the Rudé právo and the ČTK in Beijing.
