The thesis deals with the election of the Director General of Czech Television in 2017. The topic is viewed from the perspective of the media agenda of print and online media. The researched media was chosen by the key of the highest readership in the period from the beginning of January to the end of April 2017. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the specifics of the effects of media, which categorizes into three types. Furthermore, the theory mentions the concept agenda-setting, which belong to the long-term effects of the media, and which includes the examined media agenda. The theory also defines the concepts of public service and public service media, related terms and basic legal anchoring. The theoretical part also presents the Czech Television institution and its supervisory body, which elects the General Director, the Council of Czech Television. The practical part, through the analysis of news outputs that were published for the election in the defined period, using quantitative content analysis and qualitative analysis of the frameworks, shows how the choice was displayed in the media environment and what topics it raised. The quantitative part defines the codes that were most frequent in the news output. The qualitative part...

The present thesis investigates the impact of the global strike for climate organised by the Fridays for Future movement and led by Greta Thunberg on the approach of selected Czech media toward their coverage of environmental topics. By applying the method of quantitative content analysis, the thesis aims to uncover how Czech media reported on a clearly defined area of ecological problems and incidental environmental topics before and after the protest, while dedicating special attention to the representation of topics and frames in media agenda and the coverage of the respective persons and organisations involved. The theoretical section defines global ecological issues and presents theoretical concepts relevant for studying the media coverage of environmental topics and the impact of social movements and their protests on the agenda of the topics at hand with regard to historical and societal contexts. The thesis' methodology introduces the primary and secondary research questions and explains the choice of the variables of interest for the subsequent quantitative content analysis of selected Czech media. The practical part interprets the results of the analysis and presents a discussion which confronts the results with insights from comparable foreign studies and dissertations mentioned in the...

This diploma thesis deals with the social network Twitter as a journalistic source for printed dailies and Internet news portals in the Czech media environment. The work consists of two main parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part first briefly introduces the general influence of social networks on the form of the journalistic profession today, then attention is focused specifically on the social network Twitter and its relationship with journalists and media organizations. At the end of the theoretical part, knowledge from the use of the digital platform Twitter as a journalistic source and how this fact affects journalistic routines and procedures is analyzed, also with the ability of Twitter to strengthen the role of certain types of sources and contributes to the personalization of the media and political environment. The practical part of this work will deal with how this procedure in the use of Twitter as a source differs between traditional printed dailies and Internet news portals.

The goal of here below presented text is the introduction of the concept of the agenda setting and to try to prove the validity of this theory on the thematic field of economic policy in the period from January 2009 to March 2010. For this purpose two data sets were used. The first one, which represents the public agenda, contains the data from continuous research of public opinion realized by the Public opinion research center (CVVM). The second one is the result of the quantitative content analysis of the TV news and presents the importance of the above mentioned thematic field in the media agenda. For proving of the causal relationship in between those two agendas the method of the pair correlations was used. The results confirm the relatively strong correlation between the media coverage of the topic and its position in the public agenda`s framework. It has been proved that an important role in the whole process represents the fact whether the news is domestic or foreign as well as the importance of gender. The time factor appeared also as a main intervening variable.

<p>Housing is an issue that affects all individuals in society. People have firsthand experiences with housing daily. Housing is also a macro issue that is affected by and has implications for the nation’s economy and public policy. Despite the centrality of housing for individuals <i>and</i> society, few scholars have examined media coverage of housing issues and housing policy. This gap is especially problematic when considering the critical role of the housing market collapse in the 2008 Great Recession, the landmark housing policies instituted during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the media's potential to shape perceptions of housing policy and the economy. In this study, I use content analysis to examine the media agenda-setting and framing of housing and housing policies from 2005 to 2010 and 2020 in the <i>New York Times</i>. I investigate whether housing is framed in episodic or thematic ways and how housing media frames changed in response to the economic collapse and the pandemic. I also examine the context of media agenda-setting using housing topics. Lastly, I pay particular attention to whether housing media frames and housing topics are racialized. The data for this project was collected from the <i>New York Times</i> between 2005 - 2010 and 2020. The search terms used to identify relevant news articles were housing policy, subprime, affordable housing, foreclosure, homeownership, and eviction. The articles identified are all from the front page of the <i>New York Times</i>.</p>

Under de senaste decennierna har hållbarhetsrelaterade ämnen tagit allt större plats, både inom vetenskapen och också populärvetenskapen. Tidigare forskning visar att hållbarhetsredovisning och hållbarhetsarbete oftast studeras ur ett företagsperspektiv. Media är en viktig intressent för företag och är en av de främsta kommunikationsvägarna mellan företag och deras andra intressenter. Medias rapportering är på så sätt värdefull för båda parter. Vi har därför valt att utifrån ett intressentperspektiv studera medias rapportering av företags arbete med hållbarhet. Syftet med studien är att utifrån ett intressentperspektiv bidra med kunskap om medias roll som kritisk granskare i rapporteringen av hållbarhetsredovisning och hållbarhetsarbete. Resultatet visar att media inte axlar rollen som kritisk granskare fullt ut då rapporteringen inte är särskilt omfattande. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av nyhetsartiklar från dagspress utifrån en abduktiv ansats. Studien har en tvärsnittsdesign i vår kvalitativa metodansats. Vår analys kan likställas med tematisk analys, då vi har skapat teman med tillhörande underkategorier för att koda vårt material. Studien utgår från tre tidningar för att fånga variationen som finns i sättet media kommunicerar och har ett interpretativistiskt angreppssätt med inspiration från det hermeneutiska perspektivet. Analysmodellen har utvecklats utifrån den teoretiska referensramen som består av litteraturöversikt och teorier. Vår forskning visar att nyhetsartiklar i regel är legitimitetsstjälpande för det omskrivna företaget. Nyhetsartiklarna berör både allmänna och specifika områden kopplat till hållbarhet och inkluderar vanligtvis opartiska röster som kommenterar texterna. Vidare kan vi konstatera att sökningen efter nyhetsartiklar utifrån våra kriterier genererade färre sökträffar än väntat. Med det sagt rapporterar media om hållbarhetsredovisning och hållbarhetsarbete i lägre grad än förväntat. I synnerhet är rapporteringen kring hållbarhetsredovisning mycket låg. Därmed kan vi påvisa att medias roll som kritisk granskare i rapporteringen av hållbarhetsredovisning och hållbarhetsarbete i nuläget är försumbar. / Over the past decades, sustainability-related subjects have become more significant, both in science and in popular science. Previous research shows that sustainability reports and sustainability work are usually studied from a business perspective. Media is an important stakeholder for businesses and is often one of the main intermediator between companies and its other stakeholders, making its reporting valuable to both parties. We have therefore chosen to adapt a stakeholder perspective that of the media is the main focus. The purpose of this study is to throughout a stakeholder perspective contribute knowledge about the role of media as a critical scrutinizer in the reporting of sustainability reports and sustainability work. The result shows that media does not take on the role as a critical scrutinizer to the fullest since the reporting is not particularly extensive. We have conducted a qualitative content analysis of popular science articles based on an abductive approach. We applied a cross-sectional design in our qualitative methodology. Our analysis can be compared to the thematic analysis, since we created themes with associated subcategories to encode our material. We based the study on three newspapers to capture the variation in the way media communicates. We adopted an interpretative approach with inspiration from the hermeneutical perspective. Our analysis model was developed based on the theoretical frame of reference based on our literature review and theories. Our research shows that news articles generally weakens the legitimacy regarding the current company. The news articles concern both general and specific areas linked to sustainability and usually include impartial voices that comment on the texts. Furthermore, we can find that the search for news articles based on our criteria generated fewer hits than we expected. In addition to this, the media coverage of sustainability reports and work is far less extensive than expected. In particular, the contribution from media on sustainability reporting is almost non-existent. Thus, we can demonstrate that the role of media as a critical scrutinizer in the reporting of sustainability reports and sustainability work in the present is negligible.

The mass media's role in informing the American public is critical to public support for government policies. The media are said to set the national agenda. This view is based on the assumption of selective coverage they give to news items. Media coverage also influences the salience the public attaches to issues. However, media agenda effect has been challenged by Lang and Lang (1983). These scholars, in their media agenda-building theory, argued that the success of media effect on national agenda is dependent on group support. In order to test this theory, time-related data on South Africa crises, media coverage"of South Africa, American public reactions, congressional, and presidential apartheid-related activities, between 1976 and 1988, were analyzed. Congressional anti-apartheid policies were the dependent and others, the independent variables. The theory made analysis of the data amenable to the additive adopted to test for the significance of the interactive variables, indicated that these variables were negatively related to congressional anti-apartheid policies. The additive model was subsequently analyzed. The time series multiple regression analysis was used in analyzing the relationships. Given autocorrelation and multicollinearity problems associated with time series analysis, the Arima (p, d, q) model was used to model the relationships. This model was used to indicate support, or nonsupport, for the time series regression analysis. The result of the additive model indicated that South African political crises were negatively related to congressional anti-apartheid actions. It also showed that the relationship between the American public reactions and congressional anti-apartheid policies was greater in comparison to all other independent variables. The presidential actions taken against South Africa were negatively related to Congress' anti-apartheid actions. Television had the greatest relationship with congressional anti-apartheid actions compared to newspapers and magazines.

Presidents are said to exert their influence mainly through addressing the public and public speaking. Setting the media agenda is considered as one of the presidents' main strategic powers. Although the contemporary Czech president Václav Klaus enjoys substantial media attention, it is not granted that the media report on everything he says and emphasises. This research focuses on the interaction between presidential speeches at important occasions, represented by the 1 January, 28 October, and 17 November address, and the media represented by three nation-wide dailies Mladá fronta DNES, Právo and Blesk. The time span of the research is 2007 to 2011. The analysis seeks to examine how often were the presidential speeches reported by the media, and which particular topics from them generated press coverage. The results show that the media were mostly attracted by the 1 January address, while the 17 November speech received least attention. It has also emerged that the media reporters have been choosing selectively which topics from the speeches to cover. The scope of the space dedicated to each of the topics by the president in his speeches has not been reflected by the journalists. Therefore, significant differences in the topical priorities between the presidential and media agenda were...

No. of bitstreams: 1 ANDRESSA KALIBERDA,1.pdf: 1540259 bytes, checksum: bf8973272d5b7a2dbe4809a496dc7b4f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-27 / This Master thesis studies Media Agenda in Police pages in daily news in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. The study analyzes the main news criteria that contribute to the agenda-setting of police content with photographs in the covers of Diário dos Campos and Jornal da Manhã, as well as the connection between text and photojournalistic image in this process. To do so, the sample consists on the first week of each even month in the year of 2014 in both newspapers. Enrolled in Line 2 of the Postgraduate Program in Journalism of Ponta Grossa State University, "Journalistic Processes and Social Practices", this investigation is grounded in the following concepts: Media Agenda, News Criteria and Police Journalism. The method used is the quantitative content analysis, with qualitative inferences. The news criteria present in texts and photos of the cover stories about police news, the space these stories occupy and the corresponding content, the format of the text publicized in inside pages that is linked to the cover and the main themes that appear in the cover are evaluated. The analysis identified a tendency of publishing themes coming from official releases and, in Jornal da Manhã, the use of cover stories for contents published in inside pages as notes. News-values that appeared the most are "proximity", "impact", "rarity", "surprise" and "tragedy/drama". With this study, it is intended to contribute academically to the comprehension of news criteria that guide Police Journalism, especially on what concerns the appreciation of said theme on the covers of regional papers headquartered in the country. / Esta pesquisa de mestrado estuda o agendamento midiático da editoria de polícia no jornalismo diário em Ponta Grossa - PR. O trabalho analisa os principais critérios de noticiabilidade que contribuem para o agendamento do conteúdo policial com foto nas capas do Diário dos Campos e Jornal da Manhã, bem como a relação entre o texto e a imagem fotojornalística nesse processo. Para tanto, o recorte utilizado é a primeira semana de cada mês par do ano de 2014 em ambos os diários. Inscrita na linha 2 do Programa de Pós Graduação em Jornalismo da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, “Processos Jornalísticos e Práticas Sociais”, a investigação é fundamentada nos conceitos de Agendamento Midiático, Critérios de Noticiabilidade e Jornalismo Policial. A metodologia utilizada é análise de conteúdo de tipo quantitativa com inferências qualitativas. São avaliados os critérios de noticiabilidade presentes nos textos e fotos das chamadas de capa referentes ao jornalismo policial, o espaço ocupado por essas chamadas e pelo conteúdo correspondente, o formato do texto publicado na página interna agendado na capa e as principais temáticas agendadas na primeira página. A análise identificou uma tendência pela publicação de temas oriundos de releases oficiais e, no caso do Jornal da Manhã, a utilização de chamadas de capa para conteúdos publicados nas páginas internas com o formato nota. Os valores-notícia mais encontrados foram “proximidade”, “impacto”, “raridade”, “surpresa” e “tragédia/drama”. Com este estudo, pretende-se contribuir academicamente para a compreensão dos critérios de noticiabilidade que pautam o jornalismo policial, sobretudo no que diz respeito à valorização desse tema nas capas dos impressos regionais sediados no interior.
