Gender Equality, Biathlon and Media: An Analysis of Media Production
Gerth, Lisa ; Numerato, Dino (advisor) ; Vochocová, Lenka (referee)
Women are significantly underrepresented in sports. This is primarily because for many centuries it was forbidden for women to participate in sports. Today, women are allowed to take part in numerous sports and in major events such as the Olympic Games. Nevertheless, a male hegemony prevails in sports, which is expressed especially in media production. Biathlon represents one of the sport disciplines in which women and men operate on an equal footing. The goal of this paper is to analyze the media production processes in biathlon, concerning the gender issues. The research was conducted with qualitative interviews with sports journalists and athletes and analyzed with grounded theory. Data analysis shows that journalists do not address the issue of gender equality in biathlon coverage. They primarily report on the sporting success of the athletes, regardless of gender. This also means that hardly any women-specific topics are addressed. The interviewed journalists are gender-blind in their work. There is rather a marginalized equality of men and women. Especially female athletes and female journalists point out that the sport of biathlon and the media production about it can further improve in terms of gender equality.

Rýcová, Kristína ; Turková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Chladová, Marta (referee)
The diploma thesis presents a media image of one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Mixed Martial Arts, abbreviation MMA, has a history in the Czech Republic since the 1990s. The media portrayal of male and female Mixed Martial Arts represents one of the aspects that are not fully covered in the Czech Republic. With the help of qualitative and quantitative content analysis, articles from the four most read Czech printed periodicals are explored - Blesk, Mladá Fronta DNES, Právo and Sport and four Czech news websites - Blesk.cz, iDNES.cz, Sport.cz and iSport.cz. A total of 1331 articles are analyzed in the research. The main goal of the work was to map the media image of this sport and to point out possible differences in referring to female and male athletes. The results of the research showed that although the female MMA received significantly less media attention, there was no downplay on the abilities of the female athletes. The secondary goal of the work was to discover and analyze possible stereotypes that are associated with Mixed Martial Arts. Out of a total of 1331 articles, stereotypes were traced only in 34 cases. The analysis traced a stereotype associated with the characteristics and visage of female athletes and a stereotype called Bad Guys, which portrayed MMA as a brutal sport.

This bachelor thesis is focused on the media image of Czech football referees in connection with two problematic causes and also contains the research of public opinion about the activities of Czech football referees. Both mentioned cases took place in the Czech football background during the 2015/2016 league season. The first case concerns to the statements of former referee Libor Kovařík and his several other colleagues against the functioning of the referees commitee of the Football Association of the Czech Republic and against alleged practices of the vice-chairman of the Czech football association, Roman Berbr. Kovařík's confession about the alleged situation in the Czech football was published in Czech journal Sport in August 2015, and consequently evoked concerns in the Czech football scene. The second case, which was analyzed in the context of the referees, was the officiating of the first-league match between Příbram and Slavia Praha by drunken referees Marek Pilný and Jiří Jech in May 2016. The relevant media contributions in the three news online servers focusing on sports, namely isport.blesk.cz, sport.idnes.cz and sport.cz, are analysed by the qualitative analysis. The research of public opinion about the activities of Czech football referees is also part of this thesis.
