The Role of the Media in Construction of Health Risks in Czech Republic on the Example of Ziza Virus
Kudrnová, Blanka ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Křeček, Jan (referee)
This Master's thesis identifies the characteristics of the Czech media in the context of the media construction of health risks - the Zika virus, focusing on the printed media. Research by T. Knířová (2011), comparing the construction of swine flu risk between the British daily newspaper The Times and the Czech daily MF Dnes, and the analysis of the avian influenza, mad cow disease and West Nile fever in The New York Times (Shih, Wijaya, Brossard, 2008) are the initial works. The thesis uses a method of quantitative content analysis extended by an interpretative text reading. The risk of viral infection is analyzed with regard to concepts of agenda-setting, framing, and issue-attention cycles.
