Summary/Abstract: The presented article focuses on the media communication of legal values. The author aims to analyse the area of public discourse concerning both normative and postulative legal values which are interpreted in social communication, as well as represented, evaluated and handled by the media to create the image of these values in public opinion. In her article the author presents three aspects of the values’ presence, asserting that the established values are binding in the assessment of facts in the physical world, whereas in the media these values are represented by the broadcasters in the context of liberal, elitist or participatory and deliberative democracy, allowing the recipients to choose the option with which they could identify themselves.
