Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to the description of the main assumptions behind the comparative approach in media. The author presents the possibility of adapting comparative methods to the analysis of multiaspectual links, which are currently developing between mediasphere and literature. It has also been demonstrated that the comparative perspective can successfully be implemented in research into the cultural history of press, intermedial and transmedial reportage projects, or digital literature. Moreover, new approaches and challenges of modern humanities in the era of interdisciplinarity have been indicated.
