The content analysis of Czech news portals sensationalisation
Peroutková, Jana ; Lupač, Petr (advisor) ; Duffková, Jana (referee)
The thesis is based on the content analysis of new websites in terms of tabloid. Later it shows, that this phenomenon is a very delicate issue, especially in terms of the definition and identification of the key indicators of tabloiding or popularization. In the thesis I especially want to develop discussion about (not) comprehension tabloid tendencies. How do news sites appeal to readers? How does their approach differ? How do they evolve? And which direction to take in the future ? I tried to find the answer to these questions. I could not neglect print media, which arose due to their electronic form. To get more familiar with this issue, I interviewed editors of news sites, which revealed, inter ali, their relationship and approach to tabloids. Keywords: News websites, bulvarization, popularization, internet

Renovica, Vera ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The thesis Construction of Media Reality during Mirek Topolánek's Resignation Period analyses a total of 294 instances of media output published or broadcast between 20th March and 1st April 2010 and dealing with Mirek Topolanek's resignation from his positions within the ODS in the context of his statements for LUI Magazine. The interview dealt with the Jewish faith, homosexual orientation or the voters of the ČSSD. The theoretical part of the thesis elucidates themes related to the construction of reality as described by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, media routines, which can contribute to this phenomenon, and the creation of myth according to Roland Barthes. The research part of the thesis uses the propositions of Critical Discourse Analysis with an emphasis on Critical Linguistics, to isolate discourses, which were used to establish a connection between Topolánek's statements for LUI Magazine and his exit from the ODS and politics in general. A partial analysis also notices how the linguistic tools of tabloid and non-tabloid media were brought closer together. Finally, the Semiotic Analysis focuses on the caricatures of Mirek Topolánek and identifies myths which served as a basis for perceiving his image and the possibility of his further political career.
