Abstract
The present society is characterized by greed for information. The mass media, considered the “fourth power in the state”, feeds the “thirst” of the mankind for sensational news, the “hunger” for novel, being enslaved to the pleasures of entertainment, getting manipulated and bringing a feeling of anxiety for the soul. With numerous means of communication available (such as: printing, audio and video recordings, internet, television, etc.), the mass media has captured the interest of the people, having all the means by which information, advertising and culture can be mass-propagated. Christian values are neglected, being replaced by the ideals of the postmodern world: fun, laziness, neglect of spiritual things, etc. Often having strategic and/or material interests, the mass media is used to reach its targets by the so-called fake news. The church has the capacity to christen the mass media efforts, so that the latter aims to build the man and his spiritual progress. The power that the mass media has today must be used for the purpose of getting closer to God and to people. Goodness, love, dignity, truth, integrity must be the fundamental values that spring from the media landscape.
