This bachelor thesis deals with media coverage of the Dominik Feri case in connection with secondary victimization and victim blaming.

Space is also given to reader reactions in order to establish any possible link between their opinions and the narrative of each media outlet.1 1 Přeloženo za pomoci www.DeepL.com
