Z nejnovější studie výzkumné agentury STEM/MARK vyplývá, že mladší Češi považují v určitých oblastech privátní univerzity za lepší než univerzity veřejné. Dva ze tří respondentů ve věku 15-29 let oceňují více individuální přístup a více než tři čtvrtiny souhlasí, že studium v angličtině jim dává výhodu při shánění práce po ukončení studia. Naopak ve věkové skupině 45-49 let […]

A recently published report by the Pew Research Center documents vast differences across Europe in public attitudes toward Muslims. It is interesting that the proportion of citizens of Central and Eastern European countries who say that they would be willing to accept Muslims as members of their family is considerably lower than in Western Europe. A similar […]

Results of research among students executed by the MEDIAN research agency earlier this year showed that the majority of Czech middle school students have a low level of media literacy.  Their knowledge of how social media and internet search engines work is limited, and almost half are unable to differentiate between paid advertisements and authentic journalism.

I work mostly in the Czech language, but I have also written many articles and papers in English. I am an active English speaker […]

Communication and Media scholar Jakub Guziur’s latest book is entitled, ‘Ezra Pound in Contemporary (Post) Culture: Images of the Modernist in Artistic Media’. The book consists of a set of essays related to deconstructing images of Pound in the media from the 1950s to the present day. Dr. Nesbitt, Dean of the School of Communication and […]

Have you ever found yourself faced with an important task but been unable to focus on it long enough or well enough to get it done effectively? Does this happen to you too often for comfort?  Certainly, the occasional inability to concentrate is nothing unusual, but it can be particularly annoying (or even worrisome) if […]

Tablets, mobiles, computers – for today’s toddlers, these „toys“ are more common than Lego. „Children are mature enough to work independently with technology only at about the age of fourteen. Only then should they get a kind of digital passport,” says Michaela Slussareff, who teaches sociology and technology-related courses in the Communication and Media major at UNYP, […]
