Oral history and its place in Czech journalism on the example of Tales of the 20th Century on Czech Radio
Dvořák, Vilém ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Gulda, Jana (referee)
Since 2006, Czech Radio has broadcast a weekly programme called Tales of the 20th Century, which is produced by journalists Adam Drda and Mikuláš Kroupa. The programme is a journalistic unit, but its primary source is oral history interviews with witnesses of the last century from the Memory of the Nation collection. The aim of the thesis is to characterize the programme on the basis of quantitative and qualitative methods and to place it in the continuum of oral history and journalism. The theoretical part deals with oral history, its purpose and development, as well as the differences between journalistic and oral history approaches to the interview method. Through a quantitative content analysis of 773 episodes broadcast between 1 May 2006 and 1 May 2021, the research itself identifies who the show's typical memoirists are, what topics are most often covered by the show, what representation of men and women are present, and in which regions the stories most often take place, while also exploring how these characteristics change depending on the presenter. According to the research, men are more represented on the programme, with political prisoners of the 1950s being the most common topic, followed by Holocaust survivors, World War II veterans and clergymen. By describing the typical...

The covid 19 outbreak as seen by foreign reporters of Czech radio
Klečka, Jiří ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The covid pandemic has affected both mainstream domestic and foreign news coverage. This thesis examines how the spread of the disease affected the work of Czech Radio reporters. How did they have to adapt, what impact did the pandemic have on their personal lives or what were the possibilities of returning from foreign posts to the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is also to compare what topics the newsroom in Prague demanded from the reporters and what information was available to them in the country where they were stationed. I also briefly discuss the radio's response to the pandemic and how Radio as a public media outlet took care of its employees abroad. I then discuss the results of the interviews with the correspondents with their then manager. Before analysing the interviews with the correspondents, the thesis introduces them in short medallions and also charts important world and domestic events that were the main focus of the news coverage during the pandemic. The thesis also briefly defines the nature of the work of a foreign correspondent and the impact of the pandemic on the news coverage.

Audio Drama in Czech Radio: From Radio Plays to Radio Drama Podcasts
Cypriánová, Barbora ; Groman, Martin (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
This master thesis traces the development of radio plays and other drama works produced by Czech (Czechoslovak) Radio. First, it presents the development in this field from its beginnings about a hundred years ago to the present day. In the practical part (mainly due to the lack of material from earlier times) it then focuses on radio production from the 1960s onwards. The research focuses on whether and how drama radio production reflects the social and socio- political issues of the time period. This thesis uses particular radio plays and other works to show how they reflected these themes or how they constructed them in their own way depending on the time period. The qualitative analysis examined 22 original radio plays, 6 episodes of 1 radio series, and 3 episodes of 1 drama podcast. The theoretical basis for the research is provided by chapters on social construction of reality, the representation of reality in media, and a summary of Miloslav Petrusek's reflections on the sociology of literature, which we apply to the field of radio drama.

The agenda/role of news writers in radio broadcast, case study of Český rozhlas Radiožurnál
Gálová, Gabriela ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
In this master thesis I focus on the news presenters at the public broadcaster Radiožurnál which is part of Czech Radio. My aim is to map their role in the station's broadcasting and to describe the factors that influence them in the processes of the selection of news and the compilation of news reports. I will also try to define the positions that are involved in the creation of the entire newscast. The main theoretical concept of the whole thesis is gatekeeping. I will also present possible organizational structures of newsrooms, the definition of journalism profession or the anchoring of Czech Radio in the Czech media system. The research part is based on the analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews with news presenters and staff of the central newsroom. In the thesis I answer the question of how the news coverage of the Radiožurnál station is produced. I also look at the role of news presenters in terms of professional requirements and the degree of journalistic autonomy. Finally, I analyse the factors that influence news presenters in their work in terms of media organization, media routines and individual level.

Kobrlová, Eva ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Maršík, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to convey the atmosphere in the Czech and Slovak society at the time of the Breakup of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic. For this purpose, comments broadcasted by Czechoslovak Radio, Czech Radio respectively, and Slovak Radio were analyzed. The author collected all such comments connected with the breakup of Czechoslovakia between the 1st of July, 1992, and the 31st of December, 1993, regardless of whether these comments focused on the defense, criticism, causes, or consequences of this event. For the analysis itself, the method of analytic induction was used. To put the issue into a broader context, the analysis itself is preceded by a brief overview of events related to the breakup of Czechoslovakia in the period under review. The overview is followed by a description of how the event was perceived by Vladimir Mečiar and Václav Klaus, leaders of the two most powerful political parties in Czechoslovakia at that time and, therefore, the main figures of the breakup.

The History and the Presence of Czech Radio's Programme O Roma vakeren (The Roma Speak) - A Radio Montage
Hojný, Vojtěch ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
O Roma vakeren (translated from Romani as "The Roma Speak") is a Czech Radio program that informs listeners about Romani life in the Czech Republic and around the world. It is produced by the Romani editorial office, which was established shortly after the establishment of the independent Czech Radio nearly thirty years ago, and by broadcasting it, the radio seeks to fulfil its role of a public service medium. In its practical part, this bachelor thesis deals with both the history and the presence of this programme in the form of a radio montage. The resulting montage is based on the answers of the programme's creators recorded by the author and archival sound recordings from the history of Czech Radio. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the reader to the Romani national minority in the Czech Republic and presents the domestic Romani media, which almost without exception began to emerge after the regime change in Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s.
