How CTK reports: analysis of news agency production on example of air accidents in the Czech republic in 2011
Zuska, Adam ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šírová, Tereza (referee)
Air accidents related to both airplanes and airliners are often at the centre of heightened media attention. Whereas commercial media often choose to include in their news service only those accidents that result in number of fatalities or in a significant property damage, public service broadcasters should not take into account these criteria on order to provide balanced and versatile news service promoting an independent formation of opinions. In the case of news agencies, whose general mission is to collect and provide information, this assumption is doubly true. This thesis aims to analyse textual news products of the Czech News Agency using the example of the Agency's news coverage of air accident which happened in 2011 in the Czech Republic. This analysis will be used to determine the information quality on The first part of this thesis offers a theoretical basis for analysis - it describes the circumstances of the selection of news and related critical thinking approaches. The second part involves the actual qualitative content analysis of the news, mainly through comparison of media production with institutionally processed data depicting the real state of aviation accidents in the analysed period.

Zuska, Adam ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Slanec, Jaroslav (referee)
In the era of digitalization and internet, news agencies are attempting to use all available instruments in the best possible quality to provide information effectively while stressing out accuracy, clarity and understandability. Especially for this reasons, multimedia service forms an integral part of news agency production. Using the advantages of various tables, graphs, diagrams or multidimensional animation, readers can be easily informed about current events and affairs and they are able to watch those events that are unlikely to be captured on a video. This work deals with the process of multimedialization of news agency production with examples of infographical service. In theoretical part, it ruminates over following aspects - the term of multimedialization, activity and functioning of news agencies and production of effective information graphics. In its practical part, it describes the production of infographics in the Czech News Agency, both in present and in history. The quantification of infographical production in years from 1992 to 2011 and its interpretation is also offered in this work.
