The framing of conflicts in the middle east of czech media
Lusková, Kristína ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Křeček, Jan (referee)
The thesis "Framing of the conflict in the Middle East in Czech Daily Newspapers" explores how Czech print media report on the conflict in the Middle East through the analysis of Mladá fronta Dnes and Právo news coverage of the Second Lebanon War (2006) and the Gaza war (2008- 2009). The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the role of the media in times of war and focuses mainly on the popular even though somewhat fragmented concept of media framing, which became the basis for the analysis of the above mentioned newspapers. The research draws on the extensive literature on media framing as well as foreign research on framing of the Arab- Israeli conflict, combining quantitative and qualitative analytical tools. The aim of the quantitative part of the analysis was to obtain hitherto missing data about the framing of the conflict in the Middle East by Czech media that could be compared to similar data that are already available for foreign media. Quantitative analysis also focused on news sources and topics used while referring about the Middle East conflict. The purpose of the qualitative analysis was to gain a deeper insight into the problem and generate a list of specific frames used to interpret the conflict in the Middle East by Czech print media.

The Reflection of the Army of the Czech Republic in NATO and EU Operations in Czech and Foreign Newspapers
Žilková, Věra ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Křeček, Jan (referee)
The master thesis examines the war reporting of two Czech dailies (Mladá fronta DNES and Právo), specifically their coverage of the Czech Army mission and deployment in Afghanistan. In the theoretical part the quality of reporting, topic and factors that influence the journalist work are considered. A major theme is the relationship of media and political elites and some of its manifestations - the CNN effect connected with the media and public push on the departure of US military from Vietnam, and peace- journalism a concept of reporting on wars by exploiting more themes like reconstruction and peaceful solutions rather than war and combat. The quantitative analysis aims to verify these phenomenon in the Czech media. This is done mainly by analysing the reports sources and looking for the presence of three frames derived from the theoretical literature on this topic: heroic framing applied on Czech soldiers, national framing reflecting the national interests, and humanitarian and development aid framing.

Purpose of epicentrum agency and marketpace for a new agency after its closure
Kohout, Jan ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
This thesis recapitulates activities of Epicentrum agency which was reporting from the crisis places in the world and due to its termination of activities it attempts to define the meaning of Epicentrum. There is no doubt that Epicentrum was unique, but the important thing is to understand the causes and circumstances of its establishment and actions and to describe the way Epicentrum worked, including the both positive and negative aspects. Since the days of Epicentrum the world of media has changed fundametally (although it has not been that long). There is the phenomenon of media internetisation which the traditional media do not know how to deal with. Consequences of digitization have meant significant changes in journalists' work and the theme of this thesis is how could similar agency operate in these days. Today the proccess of producing the reports from the field is faster and cheaper which is advantage, on the other hand it is much easier to gather the large amount information for free these days and it is hard to convince media to buy it from such an agency. Therefore the integral part of this work is also a reflection on the value of on-the-spot reporting and its subsequent application possibilities on the market.
