The Reflection of the Election Campaign in Selected Czech Newspapers
Šimral, Jan ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
The topic of my master Thesis is "The Reflection of Czech Parliamentary Election 2006 in selected Czech newspapers". I am trying to analyze how two important Czech dailies handle the political topics especially with the connection with the election campaign. I am analyzing what formats the dailies are using to write about politics, political parties and single politicians, how many political articles there are on the first pages, how much space is devoted to pure program of the political parties and how much of it is wasted on a description of a day-to-day running of the campaign. I am also focusing on the issue of the independence and neutrality of the news coverage of the dailies. They always claim that it is only the opinion desk where the staff can express their real opinions. But do they not do it in the news section of the newspaper as well? I am trying to analyze what political party the daily inclines to and how much it shows it. I examine how much the dailies wrote about certain politicians. And the focus is put on many other issues yet. There are many conclusions derived from my thesis. One of the most important ones is that the two examined dailies have a strong liking for certain political parties and that they show it not only in the opinion desk but also in the news section.

These parties have held a position of a dominant party in the Scandinavian party systems for several decades from the late 1930s till the 1970s which is a remarkable achievement among the Western European political parties. The phenomenon of the strong position of labour parties in Norway, Sweden and Denmark The key to the phenomenal success of the Norwegian Labor Party, the Swedish Social Democrats and the Danish Social Democrats have been particularly high party identification of voters. The success of the welfare state also lies in the widespread feeling that everyone benefits from this state policy not only the poor. These party systems had been due to its stable and unchanging character described as "frozen party systems". The frozen part of the party systems in that period represented an average of about 85% of the votes in Norway and Denmark. In the case of Sweden the figure was even higher - about 94% of all votes. In the case of Norway and Sweden, the Social Democrats as predominant party held even up to 30% more seats than the second strongest political party. In such an environment it is almost impossible for a newly established political group to enter the party system....
