There seems to be growing amount of doubts about the independance of Czech media and its position in the public space since the mid 2013, when Andrej Babiš - the second wealthiest Czech entrepreneur and since 2014 also the minister of finance -- has bought MAFRA media house, which issues among others two Czech daily papers Mladá fronta DNES and Lidové noviny. Aim of this thesis is to find out, how the change in the ownership of the MAFRA media house affected the content of the two daily papers. Such effects are analysed in articles published in Mladá fronta DNES and Lidové noviny, firstly in general in the foreign policy topics, secondly in representation of the name of Andrej Babiš and thirdly in representation of the distinct subsidiaries of the Agrofert group. Data collection is divided into two separate periods -- before and after the acquisition of MAFRA media house by Andrej Babiš. Quantitative content analysis has been chosen as the method of research.

Exploration of the influences that an owner can have on his own media is an important topic nowadays. This master thesis focuses on the possible owner influences on his newspaper in the example of buying of the publishing house Mafra by Agrofert's owner Andrej Babis. It covers articles concerning Agrofert in two of Mafra's dailies - Mlada fronta Dnes and Lidove noviny. The reporting period covers two years before and two years after the purchase of Mafra by the owner of Agrofert and the current Czech Minister of Finance Andrej Babis. This covers the dates 5. 6. 2011 - 24. 6. 2013 and 25. 6. 2013 - 24. 6. 2015. This thesis uses the processes of quantitative content analysis and focuses on the comparison of texts about Agrofert in these two periods. In the sample of 631 articles it examines two dozen categories, such as topic, placement on the page as well as in the daily itself or quotation of Andrej Babis, and it tracks the changes that occurred in both halves of the reporting period. The shift in content of the Mafra's media, after the change of its owner has not been largely examined yet. This means that this thesis brings a first complex insight into the topic. This thesis aims to cover the changes that occurred in the reporting period and paves the way for more specific following researches....

The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the media image of the influential Czech businessman Zdenek Bakala who is also the owner of the company Economia, publisher of Hospodarske noviny. Bakala is a member of a small group of Czech billionaires who have completely taken control over the most important media groups and thus all national dailies over the last decade. Politician Andrej Babis is also concidered as one of them. His entry into the media market after the acquisition of the Mafra was the most significant moment for the rise of the so-called oligarchization of domestic media. Czech media ownership changes have raised suspicions that these modern media magnates have acquired the media in order to defend their economic and political interests. There are concerns mainly because they could influence the content of the media and thus disrupt editorial freedom and jeopardize the functioning of the entire media system. They can also use their media power to influence public opinion, which is largely shaped by the media. This thesis will therefore want to verify whether the owners use their influence in their media. This assumption will be demonstrated on the analysis of Zdenek Bakala's media image. Firstly, the research examines the way his own Hospodarske noviny informed about him and finds...

The diploma thesis deals with the development of the media image of Czech politician and businessman Andrej Babiš since he was appointed as the Finance Minister. The aim of the thesis is to find out how the media image is changing during the term of office and which topics are primarily associated with him. The necessary data was obtained from the media database Anopress, through which the relevant articles of two national newspapers (Mladá Fronta DNES and Právo) were chosen. Another purpose of the work is to assess if the media image is influenced by the fact that Mladá Fronta DNES is owned by Andrej Babiš.

This diploma thesis deals with the verbal and nonverbal communication of the former Minister of Finance Andrej Babiš and especially examines his ability to argue. The thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part explains the basic concepts - verbal communication, language means, nonverbal communication, argument and argumentation and pragmatic linguistics. The analytical part of the thesis is based on the principles of qualitative research. The programs of Czech Television - Questions of Václav Moravec and Interview ČT24 were selected for the analysis. The choice of these programs was mainly related to their nature. In the case of Interview ČT24, one moderator and one guest are present. In Questions of Václav Moravec, Andrej Babiš gets into a controversy not only with the moderator of the discussion, but also with other guests. For the analysis of the mentioned areas were selected parts of programs in 2014, when Babiš became Minister of Finance, and in 2017, in which he last acted as Minister of Finance. Between these years, episodes in 2015 and in 2016 were chosen, which made it possible to follow the development of Babiš's speech over the time. The final chapter then summarizes the main findings of the research. The result of this thesis is a characteristics of the speech and appearance of...
