Visualisation of crime in the Normalization cinema
Škopková, Andrea ; Urban, Michal (advisor) ; Agha, Petr (referee)
67 Visualisation of crime in the Normalization cinema Abstract The thesis deals with the question to what extent and in what way the Czechoslovak Normalisation through state-controlled cinema influenced the portrayal of crime/criminality in crime and detective films. The present work attempts to capture the schemes and boundaries within which the dramaturgy of Czech film genre production moved during the so-called Normalisation. The work is based on comparing available data and studies on real crime with its filmic portrayal. The thesis includes a chapter devoted to interdisciplinary, especially sociological, contexts of researching crime and its reflection in society. Another part of the text includes the historical and legal-historical context of the topic under study and the transformations of criminal law. Together with a description of some selected motifs of the film narratives and with an assessment of the extent to which and in what ways selected criminological topics (e.g. recidivism, the problem of social pathologies) are reflected in contemporary professional literature (or statistics) and film, the thesis illustrates with specific examples the ways in which the ideology of Normalization may manifested itself in film productions primarily for the entertainment of the audience (the public).

Neumann, Jakub ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the rhetoric of the Izvestia media in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Based on a careful examination and critical analysis of the articles examined, this bachelor's thesis compares and contrasts the ways in which Western and Eastern media outlets have dealt with this conflict, especially in light of their news interests and propaganda. It then goes on to map which narratives the Izvestia media use and which are most common in their articles. The results show the frequent use of false or misleading claims by the news outlet Izvestia. They also show the different portrayal of reality between Western and Eastern media in specific analyzed articles.

Pavlíček, Denis ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Korablyova, Valeriya (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the relationship of Poles to Ukrainian nationalism between 2014 and 2022. This issue is examined through selected Polish print media (Rzeczpospolita, Gazeta Wyborcza, Do Rzeczy and Polityka). The aim of this bachelor thesis is to identify the main differences in the approaches of right-wing and left-wing media to topics related to Ukrainian nationalism during the observed period. Firstly, the issue of Polish-Ukrainian relations is introduced with an emphasis on mutual disputes over the interpretation of history. Then follows the justification of the selection of chosen titles, while their ideological differences are mentioned. After evaluating the previous approaches to media analysis, the selected research methods are presented. In order to answer the research questions and assess the validity of the hypotheses, a qualitative content analysis, an inductive content analysis, and a frequency analysis of the articles found using keywords related to Ukrainian nationalism are conducted. After a commentary of the results of each analysis, the periodicals are then compared with each other. Lastly, a discussion of all results is conducted, the research questions answered and the validity of the hypotheses assessed.

Media image of Václav Klaus and Vladimír Mečiar in selected press from the period of split of Czechoslovakia
Matějková, Kristýna ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Charvát, Jakub (referee)
Czechoslovakia underwent a challenging transition from a communist regime to a democratic system in the 1990s. Some Slovak citizens perceived this period as their chance to seek emancipation. This desire, nourished by some political figures, started the division process of the Czechoslovak federation, which resulted in a series of bargaining between the two national prime ministers, Václav Klaus and Vladimír Mečiar. The citizens of the federation were waiting to see how their protracted meetings would unfold. And the only intermediary that could regularly bring them information, were the media. Nevertheless, through its important role of informing the public, the media also has a considerable power to influence what people consider important and what they think about. The way in which the media covered all events that led to the breakup may have had an effect on the public opinion on the existence of Czechoslovakia. This diploma thesis offers a view on how selected Czechoslovak press in 1992 portrayed the main characters of the final split of Czechoslovakia, focusing on the perception of Václav Klaus in Slovak media and Vladimír Mečiar in Czech media.

The media image of women's football in the printed daily Sport
Pavlačková, Monika ; Turková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled "The media image of women's football in the printed daily Sport" deals with the media image of women's football in the period 1/1/2017 - 12/31/2021 in the daily Sport. Through quantitative and qualitative content analysis, the work describes how women's football is presented in the only Czech sports newspaper and its supplements over the years and then mentions the most interesting articles. The analyzed years are compared with each other at the end. One of the main theories is that if the media image of women's football gradually changed, it would be significant precisely in the only Czech sports newspaper. The work is based on an assumption that the number of articles increased over the years, which was confirmed as a result except of 2020 and 2021, when the number of articles decreased considerably due to the pandemic crisis. The change in the media image of women's football was evident not only in the number of articles, but also in their length.

Jarmarová, Anna ; Barták, Miroslav (advisor) ; Rogalewicz, Vladimír (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the media portrayal of alcohol use during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic in the period from March 12 to May 17, 2020. In the theoretical part, attention is paid to the definition of basic concepts related to the issue of alcohol. Attention was also focused on a brief presentation of the COVID-19 disease and its effects on mental health, including the impact of alcohol use during the pandemic. Finally, I focused on the media's division, function, and influence on the recipient of information. The work aimed to find out how the topic of alcohol was presented during the state of emergency, what was the media's interpretation in connection with the use of alcohol, and the restriction of its availability (as part of protective and crisis measures), whether the news differed in various regional mutations and how it presented "online" drinking during a declared state of emergency. I obtained the research file through deliberate purposeful selection. All media content related to alcohol was obtained through Newton Media monitoring. The total number of these communications was 3,014, of which 591 were in print, radio, and television. These media releases were subjected to a detailed examination, during which a total of 198 of them were discarded. I chose...

The Analysis of Media Messages: the 1989 Palach Week
Vacek, Josef ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Tůma, Oldřich (referee)
The main proposition is that the newspapers which were published by political parties were informing about the events more frequently than other media. This assumption was proved just in part - the newspaper with the biggest number of articles concerning the events was "Rudé právo" published by the communist party, however, the rest of the communist press was lagging behind. One of the findings of this work is that all of the newspapers used media instruments in different proportion. Apart from that, two days of a turning point are identified in all the newspapers in the given period of analysis, both of them were marked with an increase or decrease of the number of articles. The chosen reasearch method is the quantitative analysis supplemented in part by comparison of the results.
