Self-concept of Contemporary Czech Sports Journalists
Chladová, Marta ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Waic, Marek (referee) ; Waschková Císařová, Lenka (referee)
The profession of sports journalists, according to the literature, is in various ways outside the standards of journalistic practice. The content, form and importance of their work is often questioned. Sports editorial offices tend to work according to rules that are not typical of the rest of the media; they operate in a 'world of their own'. This dissertation reveals how sports journalists themselves perceive their profession. The qualitative research, based on in-depth interviews with former and active sports journalists from different types of media, describes their work in general terms and highlights the unique features of the profession that might enlighten their position in the journalistic hierarchy and identify any specifics that the journalists themselves perceive as relevant. The grounded theory method has been used for the analysis, through which the thesis defines the central and other major themes that resonate in and out of academia and co-create the image of sports journalists. The main aim of the research is to answer the question what the professional self-concept of Czech sports journalists is. The dissertation is a summary of findings concerning the everyday life of Czech sports journalists, with an emphasis on the characteristics of the key specifics of their profession and...

Hruška, Michal ; Turková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Macková, Veronika (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled Coverage of World Baseball Classic 2023 in the Czech media focuses on the analysis of media coverage of the unofficial World Baseball Championship on the Czech stage. At this international tournament, for the first time in history, the Czech national team presented itself, which along with it brought a unique opportunity to bring an unexpanded sport closer to the wider public, something that the national team itself strove for. The thesis covers media content in television, internet and print media. All content during March 2023 is examined, covering the period before, during and after the championship. The thesis specifically analyzes the form and extent of broadcasts on the ČT Sport channel, which owned the television rights to the tournament, and compares the coverage of baseball on the two most watched Czech news programs on ČT1 and TV Nova. It also balances six selected relevant websites with a sports theme (iSport.cz, iDNES.cz, Sport.cz, SeznamZprávy.cz, Deník.cz a ČeskáTelevize.cz) against each other. Additionally, it examines the only Czech sports newspaper Deník Sport. The thesis is supplemented by an interview with a representative of its editors, who reported on the event directly from the venue.

The popularity growth of sport climbing demonstrated on media coverage of Adam Ondra
Hübsch, Dan ; Trunečka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Turková, Kateřina (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the transformation of the reporting on sport climbing by three major Czech sports news sites Sport.cz, iSport.cz, and the sports section of iDNES.cz demonstrated on media coverage of the Czech climber Adam Ondra - a multiple medalist from the world and European championships, an Olympic participant, and the first person to climb the highest difficulty route ever achieved - considered to be the current best climber in the world. The theoretical part of the thesis encompasses, in addition to the profile of the observed athlete, the concept of gatekeeping and the related theory of news values which are subsequently applied to sports media and used in the analytical part. The thesis aims to capture the development associated with the transformation of reporting on Adam Ondra, and thus, on sport climbing as well. The purpose of the thesis is based on the hypothesis that the number of published articles is going to increase during the period under review due to Ondra's achievements.

The aim of this thesis is to describe the generation of sports journalists in terms of their professional satisfaction and motivation. Based on a quantitative questionnaire survey and qualitative research in the form of personal semi-structured interviews and their analysis using the method of interpretative phenomenology, the thesis attempts to describe the most common challenges that journalists belonging to Generation Y face during their careers.

The media image of women's football in the printed daily Sport
Pavlačková, Monika ; Turková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Trunečka, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis entitled "The media image of women's football in the printed daily Sport" deals with the media image of women's football in the period 1/1/2017 - 12/31/2021 in the daily Sport. Through quantitative and qualitative content analysis, the work describes how women's football is presented in the only Czech sports newspaper and its supplements over the years and then mentions the most interesting articles. The analyzed years are compared with each other at the end. One of the main theories is that if the media image of women's football gradually changed, it would be significant precisely in the only Czech sports newspaper. The work is based on an assumption that the number of articles increased over the years, which was confirmed as a result except of 2020 and 2021, when the number of articles decreased considerably due to the pandemic crisis. The change in the media image of women's football was evident not only in the number of articles, but also in their length.
