Ladislav Hanus, a philosopher, theologian and a prolific writer belongs to the most influential thinkers of the 20th century in Slovakia. Besides his great academic works he contributed to development of Catholic journals Verbum and Kultúra either as an author or editor-in-chief. The paper aims to draw on Hanus’ writings and outline a concept of catholic press and/or media in general. As a result of a textual analysis, the following pillars of catholic press were identified: quality of content, quality of form and design, openess to dialogue and criticism, and reflection of current issues in society.
