Svoboda tisku a bezpečnost novinářek v OBSE a případová studie Česká republika

The thesis deals with the concept and reality of freedom of the press and safety of female journalists in the OSCE region. The issue of freedom of the press as such has already been one of the traditional parts of the Organization’s agenda, the aspect of safety of journalists and gender dimension, however, have been incorporated mostly in recent years, following the real development of the situation in this area. The topic is therefore very relevant. The thesis further focuses mainly on the developments in the Central European countries, in connection with which the impacts of OSCE activities in the field of freedom of the press and safety of female journalists are examined. To this end, through the NGO Reporters Without Borders’ data analysis and content analysis of the activities of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media these activities and their impacts are studied. Furthermore, the case study examines the situation specifically in the Czech Republic, evaluating in this way the level of implementation of relevant OSCE documents and further continuity of Czech activities in this area. The case study thus partially deepens the findings obtained in the main part of the thesis.
