Critical journalism in council newspapers and regional mutations of Deník - a case study of two media at the Benesov district
Dvořáček, Vojtěch ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Klimeš, David (referee)
This thesis examines the state of critical journalism (or watchdog journalism) in one local and one regional media in the Benešov region today. The selected media are the district mutation of the Daily newspaper published by VLTAVA LABE MEDIA and the town hall newsletter. Together, these media represent the two most dominant types of regional media in the Czech Republic, which is affected by the phenomenon of news deserts. Critical journalism, in understanding of this thesis, is that whose content accurately and with an emphasis on facts informs about events related to processes in public administration in its broadest sense and at the same time provides sufficient relevant context to allow the reader to understand the described issue comprehensively and in its entirety. The aim of this thesis is to verify the functionality of this journalistic process, which is crucial for the functioning of democratic processes at the local level, through the following research methods: content analysis of samples representing one year of the selected media outlets' editions, semi-structured in-depth interviews with creators of the selected media outlets and a questionnaire survey conducted among their readers.

Tichota, Ondřej ; Trampota, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
Diploma thesis "The Influence of Regional Media on Readers' Perception of Politics in Melnik" refers on a survey of accepting media framing of politicians, politics and important issues by regional media readers in the town of Melnik. Methods of framing and focus groups were used in the survey. First the methods were introduced. The method of framing was used for qualitative content analysis of five printed media from 2005 to 2007. The media were daily Melnicky denik, weekly Tydenik Melnicko, monthly Melnicka radnice, weekly Tep regionu and regional supplement of Mlada fronta Dnes for Central Bohemia. The author of this work focused on several most important issues of the 2005 to 2007 period and he observed how respondents accept or decline the framing of these problems offered by politics, journalists and other participants of Melnik political life. To do this he organised focus groups discussions with Melnik inhabitants in the age of 26 to 75 years of age. They discussed their opinions and beliefs on local politics. This work is a subjective insight into the world of regional media effects on readers, in this case focused on political issues.

Regionální média a uprchlická krize ve vybraných krajích České republiky
Rodová, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis deals with the phenomenon of refugee crisis and migration and with the projection of this theme in regional media. The aim of the thesis is to point to how migrant people are portrayed in regional media and to evaluate whether the picture of migrant people is consistent in regional daily newspapers on the basis of comparison of two regional mutations of the chosen medium. Then our aim is to suggest advice and recommendations for balanced coverage of this theme in the news. The theoretical part of the thesis offers insight into current migration trends in Europe, definitions of basic terms such as refugee crisis, refugee, migrant, asylum-seeker, international protection etc. Also we deal with the influence of media on the formation of public opinion and opinion on refugees. The following chapter presents our analysis of a small sample of articles in foreign media. We show how journalists write about migration in regional newspapers behind the border of the Czech Republic. In the empirical part of the thesis we try to find out, through content analysis of websites of two regional mutations of Deník, how the theme of the refugee crisis and migration is reflected in regional media. We find out that the portrait of refugees in regional media is rather consistent and the differences are given mostly by the personality of a journalist. Media agenda in regional newspapers rather do not correspond to real development of refugee crisis at the given place. It rather corresponds to the reality at the level of the Czech Republic or the European Union. We suggest essential recommendations for better covering the theme at the level of language and we call for deeper context.
