The analysis of the dataset, which contains over 29,000 records, is approached in two different ways that lead to the same conclusion. The thematic circles observed, regardless of the different methods used to classify them, change together over time, despite the high specificity of each circle.

Trade unions in the media discussion on coronavirus: a comparative analysis of the discussion in the Czech Republic and Russia
Pachina, Anastasiia ; Soukup, Petr (advisor) ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee)
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the first year of the media debate on coronavirus involving trade unions. An analysis of the media debate reveals the position and role of trade unions both on the subject of coronavirus and in society in general. We chose trade unions in Russia and the Czech Republic for comparison. We analysed the discussion in Russian and Czech media sources. The findings of the content and network analysis are complemented by the results of interviews with trade union members in Russia and the Czech Republic. The study highlights the bargaining and deliberative role of trade unions in the Czech Republic, which tend to act in concert. However, in Russia the division between traditional and alternative unions has become even more pronounced during the pandemic. The study shows that traditional and alternative trade unions have different methods and approaches to dealing with situations and bargaining in tripartite contracts. In both the Czech and Russian discussions, there is a model of biocommunicability - public sphere. The model assumes that information about health is useful because it facilitates collective decision-making about public interest, where both citizens and policy makers make decisions. The model suggests that health issues are open to debate, even...

State of emergency in the Czech Republic as an oportunity for political communication
Srbová, Barbora ; Shavit, Anna (advisor) ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (referee)
The thesis focuses on the political communication and media-related aspects of the first two waves of the coronavirus pandemic in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic overcame the spring wave of the pandemic in 2020 almost exemplarily, despite low preparedness and lack of protective equipment. This changed completely with the arrival of the second wave, when Czechia found itself among the worst affected countries. The aim of this paper is to explore one of the possible causes of this development. The thesis builds on the assumption that 1) political communication and media messages directed at citizens can - especially in times of crisis when news messages and politicians receive increased attention - have a perceptible impact on citizens' behaviour, their decision-making and their interpretation of unfolding events, and 2) that inconsistency of information, as well as inconsistency in its interpretation and framing, can have a negative impact on citizens' trust in the state and in the measures taken. Building on these assumptions, the paper uses a content analysis to examine how the COVID-19 disease pandemic was framed by the government and the media during the first and second waves of the pandemic, and tests the hypothesis that the degree of divergence between government and media framing of...
