Summary/Abstract: Abstract: As the result of the development of new media, the contemporary existence takes on a two-dimensional character. Scenes from the life of a human which take place in the real and virtual worlds are mutually complementing and actuating. On several occasions, after having begun their course in the Internet galaxy, they turn into real social activities. The popularity of the cyber-democracy citizenship and exercising freedom of expression on the Internet makes us the witnesses of a new relationship between the citizens and the government. This also includes electronic civil disobedience, which may be observed on blogs, web pages, or Idymedia network. The citizens organising themselves together via the Internet and their active participation in civic journalism leads to the fact that being an active citizen takes on another dimension.
