ethical aspects of Mediatization of Religious Life – comments for the Discussion

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to reflect on important ethical aspects of mediatization of religious life, which include: the presence of the sacrum in the space of profanum; the truth as a reference point for media interpretations of the doctrinal foundations of religion; factors of religious life in the media space. This text is a review article. The method of analysis and synthesis was used. it has been proven that the correspondence definition of truth is an important point of reference in the question of the reliability of reporting about religion. Religious doctrinal issues demand media fidelity to the message, while other religious issues allow greater freedom of interpretation. The basic determinants of religious life (identity and the resulting self-declarativeness of faith, formal affiliation of a person to a specific religion, individual and community religious practices) require from broadcasters not only knowledge in the field of communication sciences, but also relevant religious knowledge. The mediatization processes concerning religious life have certain limits of usefulness and applicability.
