The doctoral thesis Gastronomy as a part of life style in the Czech national print media in the period between the wars in Czechoslovak Republic presents the results of eight years long research of food journalism in the Czech press between 1918 and 1938. This period called First Republic is often seen, due the positive sentiment, as a modern, democratic and prosperous state. The reality is a different. This text presents just a little part of picture of life style during First Republic which is gastronomy. That mirrors the economic and social level of the society. This text reflects critically the historical facts. The assumption, that print media pay regularly attention to the gastronomy as an integral part of life is important idea of this research. The content analysis proofs, that food journalism had its own section in the analyzed daily print, although media didn't used this kind of terminology.

the Sound Document Landscape in the Czech Republic
Horová, Iva ; Šír, Filip
This paper focuses on an area of audio preservation at the national level that has until recently been completely neglected. Our biggest challenge lies in the fact that we still do not have a Czech National Sound Archive, primarily because we lack systematic preservation policies for audio at a national level. Over the last two years much has been accomplished, but the direction has not been firmly established, and it does not yet have strong institutional support. While our goals have recently been captured in the State Cultural Policy, 2015-2020, the question of funding has not been resolved. In this presentation, we will discuss some of our recent, important activities. Our platform, which aims to fill a gap in understanding the national sound cultural heritage, is called the Virtual National Phonotheque (www.narodnifonoteka.cz). It informs users about the existence, location and content of all audio documents published or housed in the Czech Republic. It is very important that we also cover the history of the Czech sound industry, record labels and publishing. In addition, we are moving forward in many other directions related to the preservation of audio recordings. We want to highlight the gains we have made in our work so far, all without big projects or money from the Czech Republic.

This bachelor thesis focuses on events in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia from September to December 1941 and their image in the selected Czech periodical press. During September 1941, there was an intensified wave of resistance, which was culminated by a successful proclamation of the London radio broadcasting to boycott the Protectorate press by the Czech society. At the end of September 1941, it was suddenly announced that the Protector Konstantin von Neurath is ill. His role in the Protectorate should be then filled in by Reinhard Heydrich as a deputy Protector. He is the person associated with the following period, when serious reprisals against the Czech society took place. In addition to the declaration of martial law, the most important incidents where an arrest of the Prime Minister of the Protectorate Alois Eliáš, a death of the prominent activist journalist Karel Lažnovský and worsening of anti-Jewish measures, including the start of the actual realization of the Final Solution of the Jewish Question. The thesis analyses a way of presentation of the events of the last third of 1941 in the selected Czech official press, which was used as a propaganda and manipulation instrument of the occupation power, and a way of presentation in the selected illegal and exile Czech periodicals.

Period printed media reaction to the allied air raids on Pilsen area in spring 1943
Helikarová, Petra ; Suk, Pavel (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with media coverage of two allied air strikes against the Pilsen Region in the spring of 1943. The bombing was carried out by the British RAF on the night from 16 to 17 April 1943 and from 13 to 14 May with the objective to hit the Škoda Works in Pilsen, the most important arms factory in the Protectorate. The strikes were not successful from the Allies' perspective. In the April strike, Dobřany, which is 11 km away, was hit instead of the Pilsen factory complex when the pilots mistook the local mental asylum for the Pilsen Škoda Works. The May strike was more successful. The Škoda factory was hit but not in a way that would paralyse its production. In addition, it also hit civilian targets. The essay opens with an overview of the situation in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the printed periodic media of that time and the system of censorship, followed by a brief introduction to Pilsen's history at the time of the Protectorate as well as a description of the actual air strikes by a current historian. In terms of the actual analysis, the essay focuses on a two-week period immediately following the bombing, i.e. from 17 April to 1 May and from 14 May to 1 June 1943. The material used in the work contains four groups of periodicals - nationwide legal (Večerní České...

The work attempts to analyze manifestations and the possible impact of Nazi propaganda in two stages of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. As to daily press the children's annex of Národní politika (National Politics -the most widely read periodical) and Lidové noviny (People's Press - a prestigious and independent newspaper close to the Castle during 1st Republic) have been analyzed. As to periodicals published during the first phase of the protectorate (until the arrest of Prime Minister Alois Eliáš in September 1941) the magazine Mladý hlasatel (Young Announcer) and Dětská neděle (Children's Sunday Magazine) which began to be published in 1935 were chosen and analyzed. The second phase of the protectorate was tightly associated with the establishment and existence of the Curatorium for Education of Bohemian and Moravian Youth and therefore its periodicals Zteč (Charge), Správný kluk (Good Boy) and Dívčí svět (Girl's world) were analyzed together with Knihovna pro mládež (Youth Library) issued by the Curatorium later. The work's objective is to display ways of Nazi propaganda targeted at children and teenagers under 18 years of age. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
