The authors analyse these issues in a multifaceted and interdisciplinary way, mainly within the framework of communication and media studies and theology. The methodology of the paper combines practical theology (its four stages: “see-judge-act-review”), scientific methods applicable to social studies (especially social communication and media studies and sociological studies), and the technical aspect of communication activities (in the form of live video streaming) performed by parishes on the Internet. As it turns out, 40.8% of Polish parishes carried out online Mass broadcasts. In most cases, the main sources of broadcast signal were YouTube (18.9%) and Facebook (18.7%), while less than 5% of the parishes conducted technically independent broadcasts. The research showed a statistica...

Eight weeklies from 2019 to 2020 were analysed, and the study showed that the topic of transhumanism appeared in the studied publications quite rarely. The attitude of the weeklies towards transhumanism also reveals a relationship to each weekly's worldview. While the discourse of the weeklies generally does not fuel fears associated with transhumanism, it nonetheless shows that social development in Poland has not kept pace with technological development. Especially religious-conservative magazines do little to bring their readers closer to one of the most pressing and up-to-date ethical and theological challenges facing humanity.

In the field of literature, attention has been paid to investigating the material aspects of the medium in a comprehensive analysis (not a necessarily digital one, see Media-Specific Analysis by Katherine Hayles, 2007). The inclusion of digital media into academic work processes often raises questions regarding media innocence, autonomy of scientific publications and beliefs about the constancy of scientific standards. It is possible that digital media together with artificial intelligence are causing permanent changes in scientific communication and in the design of scientific studies, including scientific publications. Similar tendencies may be observed in the cases of “born-digital” media, such as the scientific publications initiated by the editors of the American Historica...

It would not be an overall description of the complex ecosystem of interpersonal communication, but rather the next brick added to the continuously expanding edi!ice of scienti!ic re!lection on communicating and the media. Thus, for the purposes of this study the author suggests the use of a term ‘intersphere’, derived from geometry. The author is convinced that the situation, in which the media are prevalent in every area of human life, is properly described. As for the linguistic analysis of the word ‘intersphere’, the author examines its possible references to the mediasphere theory, formulated by the Polish media researcher, Bp. Adam Lepa, and divided into logosphere, iconosphere, galenosphere and sonosphere. In the further study, he endeavors to investigate the extent, to which the perception of the media as the intersphere of human existence cooperates with – recently extremely popular and gaining more supporters – the theory of mediatization of various areas of life. It seems that (despite lexical similarities between the concepts of ‘mediosphere’ and ‘intersphere’) the comprehension of the media in terms of the intersphere of human life is much closer to the theory of mediatization; it constitutes as if the other side of this theory and hence, can perfectly complement it.

In 2010, the foreign press companies are the biggest press publishers in Poland. The article describes changes in Polish press after 1989 and shows the main players on the Polish press market, which are still fighting for their positions and are trying to attract new readers.

Referring to the widely understood progress, Pope Benedict XVI one of points of his encyclical letter devoted to the role and tasks of the media. They provide for a humanisation, which is understood as a harmonious, balanced, focused human development, aimed at the achievement of full humanity. It means, that we should not only improve technical possibilities of the media, but also cause them to serve values such as dignity of the person, truth, goodness.

It aims at answering questions: How has the image of the Church changed in the papers, depending on the historical epoch and socio-political situation, and to what extent was it connected with them? How diverse was the image of the Church at one time, regarding press titles which mentioned it, their program line, an editor, etc.? What are the possible specific dimensions and subjects of the potential studies in this area?
It needs to be stipulated already in the introduction that the submitted publication shall not encompass the detailed analysis of the changing image of the Church in the papers in the discussed time period. It is impossible; such a detailed analysis must have been included in numerous monographs of sizable length. It is rather aimed at arranging already conducted research in this field, presenting some long-term processes and the main change factors, which occur in the aforementioned image as well as factors, which shaped it. The additional goal – as already indicated – can be providing an inspiration for the more specific research in this area.
Before the author would proceed to explore the formulated subject, he would present the preliminary concepts, i.e., he would briefly discuss the specificity of understanding the Church nature in terms of a divine-human institution, the very concept of the media image and the possible ways of its examination. The situation of the Polish press in a given epoch as well as the historical background would be analyzed together with the conducted study. In the last chapter describing the situation after 1989, the object of the analysis also considers other media and it is due to the increasingly universal phenomenon of convergence and also ownership and capital links between the particular media concerns.

What this book aims to achieve is to examine the notion of remediation and concepts associated with it from the perspective of Central and Eastern Europe with broad and varied examples drawn from literary and artistic practices of last decades: from Slovenia and Czech Republic to Russia; from video art, happening and (analog) art installation to hypertext, cyberpoetry and works made for gesture and body sensitive platforms like Kinect or mobile phones.
The voices from Central and Eastern Europe comprised in this monograph expand the notion of remediation in several directions, bringing new perspectives and new examples. In several cases authors explicitly want to go beyond the remediation, both in its subject and object, which is accommodated by the ever expanding definition of medium or media as such. Nevertheless the core understanding of the very concept of remediation and the double logic of immediation and hypermediation remains constant throughout the book. As such this book constitutes a valuable contribution to the discussion on mediation and remediation, with focus on storytelling transformations in digital age.

The author searches the answer to the following questions: How the functioning of the media changes under the influence of the digital technology revolution? How the development of the Internet influences the media transformations and thus, affects the man, a society, the world? Are we really, and to what extent, the witnesses of the digital reconfiguration of social communication? What if the future of the media in the face of digitalization and the social transformations related to it? To what extent are the technical inventions just interesting gadgets, and how much they actually changed our life, mentality and understanding of the world? The daily monitoring of media reports and daily life allows placing the thesis that we are currently witnessing fundamental changes taking place in the process of interpersonal communication. They are the result of digitization, miniaturization, the dynamic growth of the Internet and services associated with it and other communication networks. However, it seems reasonable to say that the sphere of changes does not affect exclusively the sphere of human communication, but it has an impact on our perception of the world, behaviours, attitudes, consumer habits, and later contribute to economics, entertainment, politics and other spheres of life that are subject to the multidimensional and multifaceted convergence processes. As for the technical aspect of devices used for communication, they are clearly becoming more mobile and multifunctional. They cease to be exclusively receivers of media messages, but they also enable easy creating and sharing. This means that the receiver of the media is both a sender and a consumer – prosumer. The penetration of the virtual and the real world is more visible and although it is a process ongoing for a long time, it has significantly accelerated particularly in recent years. This monograph consists of six chapters. The first is devoted to the broadly understood aspects of the Internet, both in terms of its history and changes, as well as the institutions that control it. It was impossible to ignore the issue of the rights on the Internet, including – how current! – the case of ACTA. It also raises the – rarely invoked – case of the Internet archive. The second chapter, in turn, refers to the analysis of the characteristics of the Internet communication and relations of the Internet to the traditional media (newspapers, radio and television). Then, it discusses phenomena such as Web 2.0, the new media and the social media, as well as the issue of their impact on the shape of journalism. The questions about the future of the Internet and social media were also raised. The chapter ends with the axiological-ethical-moral reflections over technology and technical progress. The third chapter is entirely devoted to the reflection on diverse spheres and dimensions of the phenomenon of convergence, with a simultaneous reference to the themes of the information society and globalization. The next three chapters concern the functioning of the traditional media (newspapers, radio and television) in the analogue and digital world, and the observation of changes and the consequences that arise to these media from the transition to the new digital environment. The question of how the functioning of the media will look like in the future was also raised. The press was discussed in chapter four, whereas chapters five and six refer to radio and television. Due to some common features of radio and television, both media are discussed together: in chapter five we look at the history of their origin, evolution and functioning in the analogue world, while chapter six discusses their functioning in the digital environment.

In the present article, the author attempts to illustrate phenomena occurring in the sphere of human communication and integrate them into the speci!ic model. It would not be an overall description of the complex ecosystem of interpersonal communication, but rather the next brick added to the continuously expanding edi!ice of scienti!ic re!lection on communicating and the media. Thus, for the purposes of this study the author suggests the use of a term ‘intersphere’, derived from geometry. The author is convinced that the situation, in which the media are prevalent in every area of human life, is properly described. As for
the linguistic analysis of the word ‘intersphere’, the author examines its possible references to the mediasphere theory, formulated by the Polish media researcher, Bp. Adam Lepa, and divided into logosphere, iconosphere, galenosphere and sonosphere. In the further study, he endeavors to investigate the extent, to which the perception of the media as the intersphere of human existence cooperates with – recently extremely popular and gaining more supporters – the theory of
mediatization of various areas of life. It seems that (despite lexical similarities between the concepts of ‘mediosphere’ and ‘intersphere’) the comprehension of the media in terms of the intersphere of human life is much closer to the theory of mediatization; it constitutes as if the other side of this theory and hence, can perfectly complement it.

It needs to be stipulated already in the introduction that the submitted publication shall not encompass the detailed analysis of the changing image of the Church in the papers in the discussed time period. It is impossible; such a detailed analysis must have been included in numerous monographs of sizable length. It is rather aimed at arranging already conducted research in this field, presenting some long-term processes and the main change factors, which occur in the aforementioned image as well as factors, which shaped it. The additional goal – as already indicated – can be providing an inspiration for the more specific research in this area.
Before the author would proceed to explore the formulated subject, he would present the preliminary concepts, i.e., he would briefly discuss the specificity of understanding the Church nature in terms of a divine-human institution, the very concept of the media image and the possible ways of its examination. The situation of the Polish press in a given epoch as well as the historical background would be analyzed together with the conducted study. In the last chapter describing the situation after 1989, the object of the analysis also considers other media and it is due to the increasingly universal phenomenon of convergence and also ownership and capital links between the particular media concerns.
The voices from Central and Eastern Europe comprised in this monograph expand the notion of remediation in several directions, bringing new perspectives and new examples. In several cases authors explicitly want to go beyond the remediation, both in its subject and object, which is accommodated by the ever expanding definition of medium or media as such. Nevertheless the core understanding of the very concept of remediation and the double logic of immediation and hypermediation remains constant throughout the book. As such this book constitutes a valuable contribution to the discussion on mediation and remediation, with focus on storytelling transformations in digital age.

reflection on the changes in the mass and individual communication and to
create a synthesis demonstrating the overall transformation in the functioning of
the media under the influence of the digital technology revolution and the arising
implications for human life as individuals and entire societies. The author searches
the answer to the following questions: How the functioning of the media
changes under the influence of the digital technology revolution? How the development
of the Internet influences the media transformations and thus, affects
the man, a society, the world? Are we really, and to what extent, the witnesses of
the digital reconfiguration of social communication? What if the future of the
media in the face of digitalization and the social transformations related to it? To
what extent are the technical inventions just interesting gadgets, and how much
they actually changed our life, mentality and understanding of the world?
The daily monitoring of media reports and daily life allows placing the thesis
that we are currently witnessing fundamental changes taking place in the process
of interpersonal communication. They are the result of digitization, miniaturization,
the dynamic growth of the Internet and services associated with it and other
communication networks.
However, it seems reasonable to say that the sphere of changes does not affect
exclusively the sphere of human communication, but it has an impact on our perception
of the world, behaviours, attitudes, consumer habits, and later contribute
to economics, entertainment, politics and other spheres of life that are subject to
the multidimensional and multifaceted convergence processes.
As for the technical aspect of devices used for communication, they are clearly
becoming more mobile and multifunctional. They cease to be exclusively receivers
of media messages, but they also enable easy creating and sharing. This means
that the receiver of the media is both a sender and a consumer – prosumer. The
penetration of the virtual and the real world is more visible and although it is
a process ongoing for a long time, it has significantly accelerated particularly in
recent years.
This monograph consists of six chapters. The first is devoted to the broadly
understood aspects of the Internet, both in terms of its history and changes, as
well as the institutions that control it. It was impossible to ignore the issue of the
rights on the Internet, including – how current! – the case of ACTA. It also raises
the – rarely invoked – case of the Internet archive.
The second chapter, in turn, refers to the analysis of the characteristics of the
Internet communication and relations of the Internet to the traditional media
(newspapers, radio and television). Then, it discusses phenomena such as Web
2.0, the new media and the social media, as well as the issue of their impact on
the shape of journalism. The questions about the future of the Internet and social media were also raised. The chapter ends with the axiological-ethical-moral
reflections over technology and technical progress.
The third chapter is entirely devoted to the reflection on diverse spheres and
dimensions of the phenomenon of convergence, with a simultaneous reference
to the themes of the information society and globalization. The next three chapters
concern the functioning of the traditional media (newspapers, radio and television)
in the analogue and digital world, and the observation of changes and the
consequences that arise to these media from the transition to the new digital environment.
The question of how the functioning of the media will look like in the
future was also raised. The press was discussed in chapter four, whereas chapters
five and six refer to radio and television. Due to some common features of radio
and television, both media are discussed together: in chapter five we look at the
history of their origin, evolution and functioning in the analogue world, while chapter
six discusses their functioning in the digital environment.
In the present article, the author attempts to illustrate phenomena occurring in the sphere of human communication and integrate them into the speci!ic model. It would not be an overall description of the complex ecosystem of interpersonal communication, but rather the next brick added to the continuously expanding edi!ice of scienti!ic re!lection on communicating and the media. Thus, for the purposes of this study the author suggests the use of a term ‘intersphere’, derived from geometry. The author is convinced that the situation, in which the media are prevalent in every area of human life, is properly described. As for
the linguistic analysis of the word ‘intersphere’, the author examines its possible references to the mediasphere theory, formulated by the Polish media researcher, Bp. Adam Lepa, and divided into logosphere, iconosphere, galenosphere and sonosphere. In the further study, he endeavors to investigate the extent, to which the perception of the media as the intersphere of human existence cooperates with – recently extremely popular and gaining more supporters – the theory of
mediatization of various areas of life. It seems that (despite lexical similarities between the concepts of ‘mediosphere’ and ‘intersphere’) the comprehension of the media in terms of the intersphere of human life is much closer to the theory of mediatization; it constitutes as if the other side of this theory and hence, can perfectly complement it.
