The aim of this thesis is to find out what motives lead Internet users to self-representation in public space. My thesis is focused on the application Instagram, which has not been given much space.

My research sample contained just breaking news (home and world) published nationwide in March, 2014. A relationship between meanings of particular parts in complex communicates (the headline, the caption, the photo and the article) and has been my variable that I was searching for within the sample. As all the parts work together in building one sense, which should represent a reality, I suppose, that meanings of these parts should show a relationship of harmony and substitution within one complex communicate. I used semiotic analysis to analyse meanings within a communicate, both denotation and connotation level. I applied my knowledge of social and visual semiotics, semantics and pragmatics to explain the meanings of individual signs.

(in English): In this thesis I present the Zapatista movement and its media strategy. Further I describe its visual communication by means of a case study.

Visual Representation of Ukraine Crisis in Respekt Magazine
Trhoň, Ondřej ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Topinková, Martina (referee)
This work analyses how values of Respekt weekly magazine reflect in its photojournalistic coverage of beginning of Ukrainian crisis. Through simplified content analysis method I quantified different formal and content properties of ten galleries published during the Majdan protests and tried to interpret how they are used by photographers to influence their viewers and what is their role in medial framing of the conflict. Apart from creating a coding table and interpreting the results, I led interviews with two main Respekt photographers. Cumulative analysis of those resources revealed that Respekt's coverage is not impartial and in fact favorises protesters while almost not portraying the other side of conflict.
