Pešková, Tereza ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Mitrenga, David (referee)
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. It is therefore important to be aware of how these representations are created. 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...

Prague in the czech media
Smlsal, Matěj ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor essay investigates how the most important Czech daily newspapers inform about regional affairs in Prague. The Mlada fronta DNES daily dedicates a few pages of every edition to local news. Every month it also publishes a stand-alone supplement in the capital and six times a year a luxurious life-style magazine. The Hospodarske noviny daily on the other hand reports more from Prague than about Prague, claims the editor-in-chief Petr Sabata, at least since the regional supplement has been discontinued. One of the other newspapers included in this research is Pravo, which dedicates a double-page every day to local news. Then there are Blesk, where the reader can find one or two pages of local news and the Prazsky denik newspaper. In the first chapter I introduce the mentioned newspapers. In the second chapter, I analyze the content of the dailies in a selected week. I conclude that the most news about Prague are brought by Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES. This result is confirmed by the subsequent analysis of how each of the dailies reports about selected events in Prague in 2012. The Prague Pride, the second round of the Senate elections in Prague 8 and the Easter markets on the Old Town Square were discussed in the greatest detail in Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES, but also in...
