Summary/Abstract: Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, in his teachings, referred to many aspects of human life. In sociopastoral issues, which have been discussed in his journals, were also incorporated the topics connected to mass media. Such issues seemed to be familiar to the cardinal, since he was highly interested in media. As a young priest he was the editor of „Ateneum Kapłańskie”, „Słowo Kujawskie”, „Ład Boży”, „Kronika Diecezji Włocławskiej”. He also had his influence as journalist in many other newspapers. In some of his speeches and articles, especially those from 1942–1946 ones, he appeared to be also a media theorist – he discussed the issues of journalists’ as well as the problems of the catholic journalism. These observations can be described as timeless, so it is worth coming back to them. It is possible that they will become very helpful for the modern journalism.
