web   Web (or “World Wide Web”) refers to HTTP internet protocol applications. It refers to a system of interlinked hypertext documents. Czech uses the English term “web” to refer to both “World Wide Web” and any given singular structure of documents available under the same web server or domain (i.e. “website”).   Technology refers to a branch of engineering that deals with the creation, improvement and implementation of manufacturing processes and procedures. technologies   Seminar is a form of educational event in which its participants take active part. It is a form of a lecture that is intended to develop independent work and thinking. Specialised rooms, computers and textbooks are used in seminars.   seminar   News reporting is one of the basic activities in journalism. It consists in informing readers, viewers and listeners of events and information, sorting and selecting newsworthy information and the basic interpretation thereof. News reporting should be fast, accurate, unbiased, objective and fair in prioritisation. News reporting offers diversified and valuable information that reflects the plurality of attitudes in society, so that the general public may take a stand with respect to the issues presented.   news (reporting)   Media communication is a form of communication that is realised dynamically and on an ongoing basis, i.e. it is a continuous flow of information. The process of media communication can be perceived as a chain of events, in which meaning is created and accepted by audiences. Any media message has a significant impact on the opinions and values of recipients.   media communication   Journalism is both a profession and a product of this profession, consisting of information on current events in society and the provision of commentary, opinion and in-depth look at issues. It includes the process of collection, sorting, processing and distributing current events and facts via mass media. The development of journalism dates back to the beginning of Modern Times, during the period of new overseas discoveries when the significance of information rose significantly and “information” become an article of sale.   journalism   Multimedia is a special type of information and communication technology that encompasses audiovisual technical resources and computers and similar technology. The term “multimedia system” refers to a complex of technical resources (e.g. personal computer, sound card, graphics/video card, camcorder, CD-ROM or DVD drive, or software necessary to run the devices, etc.) that are suitable for interactive audiovisual presentations.   multimedia   Blogging refers to keeping an online web-page-based journal (blog). Blog authors record daily observations, thoughts and comments on current events; they also often provide links to interesting websites. Anyone with access to the Internet may become a blogger. Blog forms range from personal “diaries” to official news servers operated by corporations, media or political parties; weblogs can be written by one single author, a group of friends or a broad community.   blog   Wiki is an abbreviation for “Wikipedia” (combination of wiki and encyclopaedia) – a multilingual open-content Internet encyclopaedia that has been written collaboratively by volunteers from all over the world. Their goal is to create publicly accessible encyclopaedic information and to distribute the information world-wide. There are more than 250 language versions of Wikipedia of various sizes.   wiki   Publisher refers to a person or an institution in whose name a printed document of various nature or significance is published, either periodical or non-periodical.   publisher   Media is an instrument of communication, it “carries a message”, which is to include propaganda and PR. The market economy produces and consumes more and more information, thus creating conditions for the existence of a large number of business entities for which information is an article of trade. Media offers space to all entities (business and political) to divulge their own information. Most media outlets provide paid space that anyone can use to promote their own products and services at any time. Revenues from advertising are one of the sources of income for media that contribute to their economic self-sufficiency and independence.   media market   Media education will help you understand the way media information works. Communicating with the media involves numerous risk factors; media education helps participants understand the basics of microphones, phones and cameras with respect to the media, as well as the basic elements of argument and polemics and the culture of discourse as such.   media education   The term conference usually refers to a bigger and somewhat more significant gathering of scientists, professionals, politicians, association members, etc. who meet to discuss and inform one another of a certain issue. A special form of a conference is a meeting of a certain person or a group of persons with the media, which is a called press conference.   conference   The term interactivity refers to mutual conduct and actions. Two-way communication takes place among persons or groups, consisting of question-and-answer sessions, mutual action, teamwork or conflict enabling the exchange of information and reaction to this information in real time. Interaction between various technological resources can also occur.   interactivity   RSS technology enables Internet users to subscribe to news offered through an RSS feed (RSS channel). This source is usually featured on websites that are edited and updated frequently (e.g. news servers). Formerly, this format only served the servers themselves in the process of mutual exchange of updates, so that the servers could easily link to new articles published on other servers.   RSS   Streaming is a technology consisting of continuous audiovisual message broadcasting between the source and audiences. At present, streaming technology is primarily being used for internet broadcasting of audiovisual materials. It can be either live (Internet TV or radio) or via Video-On-Demand.   streaming   A TV studio is a room equipped with technology that enables the creation of full-fledged audiovisual projects. TV studio staff consists of directors, cameramen, editors, sound engineers, reporters, photographers and lighting technicians.   TV studio   Typography is a technique of type setting and layout.

It is a system in which digital TV services are broadcast via IP protocol within a computer network, which can be a part of broadband connection service. The use of technologies for computer networks is the main difference between IPTV and terrestrial or cable broadcasting.   IPTV   Workshop is a form of educational activity for which the lecturer prepares the curriculum using various techniques (brainstorming, prioritisation, mental maps, feedback etc.). If the participants combine these techniques with their own experience and knowledge, they should arrive at conclusions that are useful and applicable in their further work. Usually the lecturer’s role in a workshop is that of a moderator. Thanks to the interactive cooperation techniques among the participants involved people receive more stimuli for practical implementation.   workshop   Experience refers to personal proficiency, mastery, skills, knowledge. The purpose of experience is to test theoretical knowledge.   experience   During an educational course its participants learn new things from their lecturer or they can acquire new skills in a practical way.   course   Corporate newsletter is a way to contact particular target groups and to establish a communication platform with employees (third-party co-workers, suppliers or partners). The objectives of a newsletter should be based on the objectives of the company as such. It should provide easy-to-read information about the company’s current events.   corporate newsletter   New media refers to the interactive quality of media, i.e. media that enables an immediate reaction, or media that can influence its contents directly. New media enables customisation, so the contents are adjusted to suit the needs of individual consumers. The term “new media” refers to technologies used, based on digital (numerical) data processing. Unlike the traditional form of media, new media is related to computer technologies and their culture.   new media   Reportage is a piece of writing that is mostly used in journalism: a reportage describes and depicts the reality based on particular facts, usually gained by personal involvement of the author or via observation. Reportage authors’ styles border both news reporting and opinionated writing: the author describes the particular event but he or she also provides their clearly biased standpoint that structures the composition. Significant aspects of a reportage include “sticking to facts” and focusing on detail (which requires the reporter be observant). Reportages are to be found in print (text + photos) and audiovisual (radio, TV) media.   reportage   The Editor-In-Chief is a manager of a news department, who is responsible for the content and form of all activities of the particular media outlet.

The future lays primarily in the use of social networking on the Internet.   citizen journalism   It is a field of education that is specific to distance learning and is realised by a tutor. Quite often it consists of voluntary meetings of students and their tutor the purpose of which is to assess the requirements for one’s studies, the nature and requirements with respect to independent work, examinations and their binding terms, to answer individual questions with respect to the course of one’s studies and grades, some aspects of the curriculum etc. Briefly speaking, it is an opportunity for students to come up with their own ideas and acquired skills and to get some feedback from their tutors and fellow students with respect to the study results achieved. A workshop is a special form of tutorial.   tutorials   Hyperlocal news refers to the coverage of small community-level events (i.e. events specific to small towns and villages). It attempts to process and deliver practical information that is important to local people. It focuses on everyday events that surround them, ignoring “big” nationwide and global news. Hyperlocal news is also based on strong reader participation.   hyperlocal news   Newsroom is a room in a media outlet where news contents are created. The room concentrates news information flows; information obtained from news agencies, other media, reporters etc. is processed in a fast and efficient way in order to be fit to print.   newsroom   E-learning is an education process that utilises information and communication technologies in order to set up courses, to distribute curriculum materials and contents, to facilitate communication between educators and students and to manage the studies. E-learning encompasses numerous singular activities that can (but do not have to) be interconnected to form an integrated system. Examples include comprehensive home-study courses and very sophisticated instruments of collaborative learning, but it can also be a mere addition to regular daily studies.   e-learning   The multimedia department is a news desk in a media outlet that concentrates more forms of media known to date: i.e. print media, radio, TV, film. Hence it is possible to create and distribute visual messages (texts, graphics, static and moving images) as well as audio messages (sounds, spoken word, music).   Multimedia news department
