Media representation of the US 2016 presidential elections in Czech Radio broadcast
Original language description
The research objective was to analyse the representation of the US presidential election in selected programmes of the Czech Radio and assess to what extent it met the requirements of public service media. Five programmes were analysed by quantitative content analysis and qualitative interpretive approaches, mainly discourse analysis. This text presents key findings of the research that are relevant for the study of political communication in the context of media studies, news discourse analysis and public service broadcasting. The dominant topic covered in pre-election period was mainly the representation related to pre-election campaign of two main presidential candidates and information on the course of pre-election polling. In post-election period, the election results and possible consequences of Donald Trump victory were mainly thematised. A considerable part of the representation of the election even in pre-election period was related to the characteristics, activities, opinions, etc. of one of the candidates only (namely D. Trump), which points out a significant bias in the overall media representation what is alarming as the broadcasting of public service media was analysed.
