Starková, Johana ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
This thesis, titled Oligarchization without an oligarch: analysis of TV Nova news broadcasting after a change of owner, focuses on a currently highly debated issue of oligarchic media ownership. The oligarchic media ownership model is a trend in current media ownership. Research on media ownership answers key questions about who owns these means of communication and how power is potentially exercised through their ownership. In 2020, businessman and billionaire Petr Kellner ranks among other media magnates through his investment group PPF. With the acquisition of the media company CME, he takes control of all activities of the most watched commercial television in the Czech Republic, TV Nova. Through this investment, Kellner's PPF achieves enormous influence. Based on quantitative content analysis, this thesis aims to determine whether the news coverage of this private television station tends to favour topics that support the business or other economic interests of the PPF Group. The research sample of the thesis consists mainly of news reports broadcast on Nova TV. The key value for the research is the analysed amount of time devoted to the PPF Group in comparison to their competitors.
