Manipulacja a demokratyzacja w społeczeństwie informacyjnym
Manipulation and Democratization in Information Society

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary information society is created by old media (press, radio and television) and new ones (connected with digital generation, transmission and reception of information). Traditional media in particular are not free from manipulation, i.e. intentional attempts to change the recipients’ attitudes while blunting their criticism. The internet renders manipulation difficult but this does not mean that it has a beneficial effect on democratization processes. In this respect its influence is limited, or rather contributes to so-called sham democracy.
