Description
Summary:Diploma thesis " Karel Laznovsky's Death as the Beginning of Revision of the Protectorate Journalist's Role" deals with a group of protectorate journalists who collaborated with German occupying forces. It is focused on the death of one of the most significant activist journalist Karel Laznovsky, who died after the official audience with premier Alois Elias in October 1941. For a few days this case became a central subject matter of all protectorate newspapers. The German activism was present in their pages dramatically and the print propaganda was intensified a lot. The press identified the person of Karel Laznovsky as an exemplary journalist and therefore he became some sort of icon of journalistic activism. The thesis analyses articles that were published after the death of this collaborator and its ambition is to give a general definition of activist journalist in accordance with how he was described in legal protectorate press in those days. Thus it could contribute to better understanding of how the action of pro-German journalists was presented in legal newspapers, in what ways it was justified and how the journalistic profession was appreciated in general.
