The beginnings and evolution of Czech hip hop in domestic music magazines
Tkáč, Vojtěch ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Hroch, Miloš (referee)
The diploma thesis analyses the beginnings of hip hop in the Czech Republic in the context of domestic music magazines. It aims to examine the media depiction of this cultural phenomenon in its entirety with an emphasis on the musical genre of rap. Through qualitative content analysis of text data, it observes specific periodicals in two time periods. The first of them was in the years 1989 to 1999, when the first attempts to transfer the originally American genre to the domestic environment began to appear in the country. The second analysed stage is limited to the years 2000 and 2002, in which two key albums were released, namely Repertoár by the group PSH and My 3 by Indy & Wich. The magazines Melodie, Rock & Pop, Report, Tripmag, Ultramix and Bbarák were used in the qualitative content analysis. The thesis examines the first printed mentions of Czech hip hop, but also focuses on reviews, interviews and other extensive journalistic genres, especially at a later stage. Qualitative content analysis of textual data is complemented by semi-structured interviews with leading music publicists, but also artists who have contributed to the establishment of rap in terms of Czech music. The research method of oral history was also used and made it possible to obtain information with witnesses that have...

Frýdová, Tereza ; Novotný, David Jan (advisor) ; Turek, Pavel (referee)
Diploma thesis The history of music journalism from the year 1963 until now examines the development of domestic music journalism from the year 1963 to the present in three crucial periods. The first period starts by the year 1963 because at this time the first professional music magazine Melodie in the Czechoslovak socialism republic developed. The second period that I study in my thesis was the 1990s, right after the Velvet Revolution, when many new music magazines were established, led by the magazine Rock & Pop. The third period I study in my thesis are the times after the year 2000 which are characterized by the development of online music journalism and by diminishing role of printed music magazines. In the theoretical part, I briefly describe every period by key historical characteristics and I also describe theirs dominant music magazines. In the last section, where I focus on the present time and the world of Internet, I focus also on the online music journalism as a new crucial field of the 21 century which fundamentally changed the work of music journalists. In the analytical part, I choose important music journalists for each period whose work is linked to the period, and with whom I conducted the interviews. The research method is qualitative research conducted in the form of semi-structured...

Czech music journalism 1990-1993: Analysis of selected periodicals and memories of its journalists
Ungerová, Kamila ; Skalecká, Veronika (advisor) ; Cebe, Jan (referee)
The field of study of this diploma thesis is the Czech music journalism in the period of early 1990s using the examples of newly established periodicals Rock & Pop (1990), Rock Report (1991, present name Report) and Spark (1992). I have chosen this topic with regards to unsatisfactory coverage of music periodicals which has enriched the Czech media market with a totally new form with no links to the time of normalisation. Furthermore, the periodicals have brought many foreign interviews to the general public and have also deepened the knowledge of hitherto neglected music genres - metal, punk and subsequent subgenres. The era of music publicistics from year 1990 on deserves the same elaborate expert analysis as in the time of normalisation in PhDr. Martin Husák Česká hudební publicistika zaměřená na rockovou hudbu v období normalizace. Although there have been some bachelor and diploma thesis concerning exclusively the periodical Rock & Pop, they have been limited mostly to paraphrases from Vojtěch Lindaur's work or to analysis of the changes the review in music publicistics had undergone. In case of the periodical Spark, the authors have analyzed its "language" or interpreted the tendencies of Czech music publicistics. I have not found a thesis which would analyze thoroughly the three chosen music...
