In the article entitled „Being a juror, that is the matter of panels of judges in talent show programmes” a thorough analysis is carried out covering the scope of the following two scientifically unexplored areas: talent shows and their panels of judges. Firstly, I wish to give the definition of what really constitutes a talent show. The comparison of all the most significant programmes of this category emmitted on the Polish television after 1989 indicate the most important and the most frequently repeated features of talent show. They include among others: multi-phasic, dual-typicality, cyclical, editing, time of emission, types of exhibited skills, ultimate number of participants, mechanizm of elimination, method of transmission stage design or at the end – the jury. In the discussion about the formation of panel of judges a lot of attention is focused on the relations between the so-called „level of expertness „and „level of celebrity „as well as activities leading to the appointment of the desired commission of judges as well as a judge’s classification as „a good policeman”, „a bad policeman „or a mediator. I also present the functions of the talent show jury which I separate into the principal (the natural ones) and the derivative (the additional ones). I describe the later as moralizing, fame-creating and imagery (in this, advertising and public relations). An essential part of the article is also the graphic layout of the promotional functions of the panel of judges, indicating areas for publicity building around talent show jud ges as well as a detailed list of program mes issued after 1989,in which I have analysed 18 talent show program mes in such categories as: date/title of 1st edition, licence/original concept, transmission/time of emission, number of editions to May 2011, prize, show mechanics, type of assessed skills, type of competition, person presiding and the jury.

This paper provides an overview of the importance of dwarf figures/jesters in Ancient Indian history and society. There are numerous dwarf-like figures depicted in ancient Indian temples. These little figurines would have not only filled the area and add decorative value but also, they have a small but significant place in iconography. A dwarf-like figure, the Vidushaka, who was a brahmin with a tuft on his head and a staff in his hand, was found on the walls of Ajanta and in the Natyashastra text. His occupation is to light the stressful environment by making the court laughing. It goes without saying how valuable the Vidushaka is as a kind of entertainment in ancient India. The objective of this research is to look at how the Vidushaka (jester) had been contributing to the ‘entertainment industry’ of ancient India and how they have been portrayed through out the history (from ancient to medieval times). This would also allow us to discover that jesters were not only adept at entertaining others with amusing jokes, but also able to express himself on the oddities of human life.

Nowadays in the information period, the Internet has an important place in the lives of people, especially in the lives of young people. Its functionality is varied and offers many benefits. An important research question is to find out how and for what purpose the students of media studies use the Internet and what is their motivation. The aims of this study are to explain the motivational factors related to the use of Internet services, to find out what services the students consider important and which they use in the process of learning and other activities in the academic environment. The research sample was composed of 98 students of the first, second and third year of bachelor study at the Faculty of Mass communication at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava. The data were gathered from December 2016 to January 2017, using our own questionnaire and a range of motivation from the questionnaire called HO-PO-MO. Results: We found that students use the Internet primarily for entertainment and the Internet has a rather partial status in the process of their work in the academic environment.
