Summary/Abstract: Today, we cannot imagine a world without media communication at the service ofsociety. At the same time, we can note the changes that media communication is undergoing.Contemporary media communication is too far removed from the very notion of communico,communicare. The very notion of “to join together, to make something common, to passon a message, to consult” is gradually disappearing from the media space, as it does in theterm communio, that is, “togetherness, communion, a sense of connection.” In our times, the wordcommunicate reminds everyone above all of the transmission of information or, more precisely,of news, regardless of ethical or moral principles. That is why the Church, aware of the importanceof media communication, demands the right to regulate their use and, in its regulations,calls on professionals in the production and transmission of information to ensure that the useof these means is imbued with the spirit of Christ.
