Fraj, Gabriela ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Jakubisko, Jorik (referee)
This thesis looks at user-generated content within Czech audiovisual mainstream media. It places this user-generated content within the wider context of citizen journalism, while also comparing this with professional journalism both in terms of ethics and the method topics are processed. The study also takes an excursion into the history of Czech, and Czechoslovak, radio and television broadcasting in terms of the very first interactions of the particular media with viewers and listeners.

Bloggers as professional journalists
Váňová, Veronika ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Jirků, Jan (referee)
The thesis focuses on the status of the blogosphere in traditional journalism. It defines blogs, describes their history, typology and audience, which has changed from passive recipients of media content to its active creators. The thesis depicts convergence as a process in which amateur journalists affect the institution of traditional journalism by publishing online. This gave rise to a new phenomenon, called participative journalism, which is a potential source of discrepancy between traditional and new media. The thesis voices mutual criticism and arguments from both professional journalists and bloggers. This need not prevail if these two media systems learn to live in symbiosis. The thesis further mentions the legal protection of bloggers in the Czech Republic and the democratizing potential of the blogosphere. The conducted qualitative research is based on twelve structured in-depth respondent interviews (both bloggers and editors) and focuses on the cooperation between lifestyle magazines (and newspapers) and bloggers. It examines motivations to take up the cooperation, its progress and its advantages and disadvantages. The research demonstrates that a symbiotic relationship is possible. It also discusses some notions introduced in the theoretical part of the thesis.

Viewers as a source of information for news stations
Kopecký, Martin ; Moravec, Václav (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
Viewers and other recipients are in the center of attention of all media platforms. The environment is constantly developing and consumers of media content are developing with it. They are much more involved in the process of creation of content, which they now not only change and edit, but create as well. The borderline between author and public is gradually fading. Technological convergence, which gives the public new opportunities, creates a new type of recipient. Prosumer, mix between producer and consumer, defines the directions of media activity all around the world. Public has decided to take advantage of the opportunities and power of internet and developed from simple consumers to full-bodied creators of content.
