Photography of political campaigns: compromise between reality and staged image
Kardová, Helena ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Štefaniková, Sandra (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on photographs related to the first direct presidential election in the Czech Republic published in the dailies the Blesk and the Lidové noviny and in the weeklies Reflex and Respekt. By the means of image analysis and interviews with some media professionals, it examines to what extent the photographs were co-created by the PR departments of the individual candidates. The submitted thesis outlines a brief historical overview of how the staged image of the politician has been used in the United States of America and offers an overview of potentially manipulative tools defined in terms of visual literacy (associational juxtaposition, staged behaviour, Kuleshov effect, subjective view, camera angle, emphasising detail). These tools are reflected in the image analysis and together with some quantitative data and some photoreporters' testimonies characterize the visual quality level of the selected media. The aim of this thesis is to draw attention to the close collaboration of the domains of public relations and photojournalism, which might lead to the erosion of journalistic standards.

Same event, different representations: How do biases differ in mass media and participants descriptions? Abstract The main theme of this thesis is the representation of events by two different perspectives - the media's representation on the one hand and narration of participants on the other. Both of these methods of capturing events stands for an effort to interpret actuality, which attributes importance to it. While in the case of media the important factors are especially those as regulatory requirements, news values or the image of the audience, at the individual level are mainly applied different strategies of self-presentation. Since everyone in the interpretation of reality is affected by their personality or behavior, there are many different images that depict everyday reality which we accept.

The goal of the research itself was to explore both of these sources and describe how they differ from one another in case of a representation of the same event (namely Prague Pride Parade 2014). The intention was to find out how the two types of descriptions differ and how are affected. The findings presents on what both types of description have focused, what were the main topics presented and the context in which the event was...
