ResPublica/Civitas Socialis - Strachotín
Kupka, Tomáš ; Klein, Pavel (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
Strachotín is a village on the edge, not just from geological point of view, but in the sense it´s next development too. Currently it´s main problem is, that it does not offer anything specific to become interesting for turists. There are not the best wine, architecture, accomodation, catering or public services. What it does have is undoubtedly the best view of Palava massif. It is not used at all and that was the main reason that led me to think of building at the pier so this attribute could be finally used for further development of this village. For this purpose i chose the object gallery of wine which is missing here and is also welcomed by it´s citizens.

The manifestations of technological determinism on the selection of news topics in ČT24 and ČRo Radiožurnál
Bečková, Kateřina ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled The manifestations of technological determinism on the selection of news topics in ČT24 and ČRo Radiožurnál seeks an answer whether the choice of news topics in TV and radio is influenced by the available technologies in each of the media, and whether they eventually choose different events to cover. The theoretical part describes concepts of gatekeeping, news values and also technological determinism. In the practical part then the author analysed three days in broadcast of the chosen media, in each it was two-hour segments around the main news at noon and in the evening. Selected topics, that ČT24 had and Radiožurnál did not, have been later analysed by semiotic analyses in order to find whether the visuals were the factor why the event was not presented by the radio. Context of the findings were given by six semi-structured interviews with journalists form both radio and television. From all the data obtained, it is evident that the television had dozens of topics more per day, caused by the time space given to the news reporting. Unlike Český rozhlas Radiožurnál, ČT24 focused significantly on the visual side of events, which could be the reason why editorial board may reject a topic proposed by the reporters.

Trump vs. Biden - Which side chose Czech TV's stations?
Kratochvíl, Michal ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
The US presidential election is undoubtedly the most important foreign policy event regularly covered by the Czech media. In the case of the latter, the battle for the White House became one of the main topics of autumn 2020. All three main national broadcasters - TV Nova, CT and TV Prima - joined the battle for viewers. For the first time in history, the election results were broadcast simultaneously on these three TV stations. But what was the practice in the Czech media. In the United States, it is quite standard for media houses to lean towards one of the candidates, that the coverage is pro-Democratic or pro-Republican. This thesis examined how this phenomenon manifested itself in Czech TV stations. Thus, the research questions focused on the number of reports on each candidate, their tone, and the total time devoted to the election itself and to both candidates. Based on the data collection, the thesis assessed that TV stations did not give equal space to both candidates. By far more space was given to Donald Trump at the expense of Joe Biden. Moreover, Trump was more often portrayed in a negative sense. In this respect, Czech Television was the least balanced Czech TV station, while TV Prima was the best. However, it in turn offered the least American election coverage, with TV Nova having...

Theory vs. practicality - current state of television reportage on the ČT24 and CNN Prima NEWS channels with focus on the parlament election of 2021
Svoboda, Ondřej ; Lokšík, Martin (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
The goal of this magister thesis is to find out how much the current appearance of the genre of the "television news reportage" corresponds with theory. It also compares how much, if at all, it differentiates between the two main Czech news television channels - ČT24 and CNN Prima NEWS. The theoretical part describes the historical development of the genre, its current form according to theories and the "ideal" work methods of reporters. The practical part does not follow these problematics by the traditional way of content analysis, however - it instead tries to approach it "from the inside", through the optics of active journalists. Using grounded theory, it examines a sample comprising of six journalists, three from each media outlet. The target is to find out whether their view of the "reportage" genre corresponds with theory and whether or not they know about eventual connections. Using questions like "what makes a good 'reportage' in your opinion" or "what does your usual workday look like", it does not only confront theory with reality. It also compares the two media outlets in between one another. It mostly focuses on the experiences of chosen reporters during the parliamentary election of 2021.

Programme Diversity in Czech Televisions between 1998 and 2006
Čihák, Marek ; Trampota, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kruml, Milan (referee)
The present thesis entitled "Programme Diversity of Czech Nationwide Television Channels in the Years 1998 - 2006" focuses on the normative requirement of the society regarding the diversity of mass media, and the approach of mass media thereto: we distinguish between media diversity introduced in the market media model and the diversity presented as part of the public sphere media model. Furthermore, this thesis attempts to search for and determine the requirements regarding media diversity as laid down in the applicable legislation of the Czech Republic or the European Union. The research part of the thesis deals with one of the many levels of diversity in the mass media environment, particularly the diversity of television programme types, i.e. television genres accepted by the interest groups: academics, broadcasters or audiences etc. The present analysis includes nationwide TV stations providing analogue broadcasting via terrestrial transmitters in the years 1998 to 2006, focusing on majority audience - Czech TV1, Prima TV and TV Nova. By means of the Relative Entropy Index and the Deviation Index the diversity of the offered programme types is examined both on the vertical level (a single selected TV station) and on the horizontal level (across the monitored TV stations). The application of...

Media reflection of TV ratings results before and after the introduction of electronic measurement
Štěpánek, Michal ; Reifová, Irena (advisor) ; Vojtěchovská, Martina (referee)
This thesis, titled Media reflection of TV ratings results before and after the introduction of electronic measurement, focuses on usage and presentation of TV ratings results in the Czech print media. The phenomenon of TV ratings is first discussed on the theoretical level and the initial part is dedicated to description of media functioning from the economic point of view [primarily the attitude of the Czech media scene toward TV ratings measurement]. Subsequently, the attention is aimed at the TV audience and its surveying. The author distinguishes between commercial and academic audience surveying and also deals with the history of TV audience research and measurement worldwide and also in the Czech Republic. He focuses primarily on the critique of the use of quantitative methodology based surveys for TV ratings. The second part of this thesis is based on the content analysis of three main Czech daily newspapers in 1996 - 1999 (specifically columns dedicated to the culture related topics).
