The agenda/role of news writers in radio broadcast, case study of Český rozhlas Radiožurnál
Gálová, Gabriela ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
In this master thesis I focus on the news presenters at the public broadcaster Radiožurnál which is part of Czech Radio. My aim is to map their role in the station's broadcasting and to describe the factors that influence them in the processes of the selection of news and the compilation of news reports. I will also try to define the positions that are involved in the creation of the entire newscast. The main theoretical concept of the whole thesis is gatekeeping. I will also present possible organizational structures of newsrooms, the definition of journalism profession or the anchoring of Czech Radio in the Czech media system. The research part is based on the analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews with news presenters and staff of the central newsroom. In the thesis I answer the question of how the news coverage of the Radiožurnál station is produced. I also look at the role of news presenters in terms of professional requirements and the degree of journalistic autonomy. Finally, I analyse the factors that influence news presenters in their work in terms of media organization, media routines and individual level.

Mráz, Jan ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Cirkl, Petr (referee)
The master's thesis "The Social Responsibility of Media in the Example of Edward R.Murrow" describes the development of social responsibility of media in the American radio and television broadcasting in the 20's - 50's of the 19th century and it demonstrates that in the examples of a CBS's reporter and anchorman, Edward R. Murrow. The thesis inquires the historical context in which the responsibilities of broadcasters came about describing the key events, regulatory authorities and the inception of the socially responsible media concept and its development trends. Firstly, the text focuses on the development of radio broadcasting, new demand for some level of control, and on the gaining dominance of commercial broadcasting media on the broadcasting market of the late 30's. Furthermore, the thesis analyzes the origins of television broadcasting of the late 40's and its progress in the 50's. The instances of social responsibility are demonstrated in the examples of Murrow's London radio broadcasts during the WWII and his latter TV show 'See It Now' in the McCarthyism era of the early 50's. Moreover, the thesis scrutinizes some of Murrow's TV and radio shows and looks at his activities in CBS from the late 30's up to his retirement in the early 60's.
