Demovičová, Barbora ; Čumlivski,, Jan (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
Is it important that a graphic designer/art student expresses their opinion on the society and world around them through their work? How can a graphic designer influence social situation, the community in which they live, or other events? What is the role of civic protest and activism? What is the relationship between art and politics? What is the political power of the art? Researching the role of political art, independent publishing, civic actions and comparing the public protests in the past with protests today lead to creating a self-published independent publication reflecting current issues in Slovakia. Focus on Slovak society came after the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová resulting in a wave of public protests and formation of new government of Slovak Republic. This publication is mix of hope for change, idealism, and later scepticism and frustration. This publication is comprised of author’s personal texts and interviews with different persons working in various fields, for example with investigative journalist Marek Vagovič, sociologist and one of the leaders of Velvet Revolution Fedor Gál, publisher and owner of samizdat library Libri Prohibiti Jiří Gruntorád, or Slovak artists Peter Kalmus and Miroslav Cipár.

Zlatohlávková, Barbora ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
Fifty journalists worldwide lost their lives while doing their job last year. Many others are in prison, face death threats and other kinds of imminence. With the spread of the internet and social media a lot of communication moved into cyberspace therefore many threats and attacks towards journalists are taking place there. This thesis called Investigative Journalists in Danger in Czech Media Environment deals with the threats investigative journalists are facing. This paper also analyses how they are protecting themselves while doing their job. For a better understanding of the whole topic, this paper also presents to the reader the history, development and role of investigative journalism in the Czech Republic. The research presents interviews with twelve established Czech investigative journalists who shared their experiences and opinions on the state of security in the Czech Republic, the threats they are facing and how they are protecting themselves. The answers of the respondents confirmed the general opinion that being an investigative journalist is often a dangerous job where the reporters face all kinds of threats and pressure.

The Slovak government crisis in 2018
Šedivý, Jakub ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
The regular interaction between the government and the President of the Slovak Republic in case of influencing public opinion during the period also played an important role in society. Many absurd allegations and attacks on individual representatives of the Slovak political scene have caused many doubts and questions about concrete problems. Efforts to influence the public opinion were a priority for all government officials, but also for the president himself. The supposed aim of my bachelor thesis should be to contribute to clarify the issue, evaluate the whole situation - reconstruction and development of the crisis from the perspective of the president from relevant information. The essence of the thesis is the analysis of presidential practices, especially the differences between the real powers that arise from the Constitution and practice due to the fact that the President of the Slovak Republic played an important role in the society during the crisis. The research question is, therefore, to find out what role the President played in the crisis, whether he exceeded his constitutional powers and violated constitutional customs, or his actions were fully in accordance with constitutional powers and customs.
