Our analyses are an attempt to look at certain axiological aspects of the contemporary tabloid media. It is an attempt that is survey-like and narrow in scope, whose purpose is to catch sight of certain phenomena which are characteristic of the quality of the contemporary media culture. One of the significant phenomena is tabloidization, which refers to both classic and well-described tabloids and all other media, called tabloidal, which yield to the pressure of tabloidization. Consequently, classic press tabloids which are examined thoroughly and at the interdisciplinary basis are not the only point of reference; reference is also made here to the functioning of new electronic media, where the tabloidization phenomenon is more difficult to grasp and less explored. Working within the field of the philosophy and axiology of the media, we make an attempt to provide an answer to how the world of values and sense reveals itself in the tabloid and tabloidal media; and, conversely, how contemporary culture and media tendencies, the mentality of the media civilization influence and shape the message of the tabloids. In our analyses reference is made both to theoretical media analyses and to rich empirical knowledge of the field. Our immediate objective is not evaluation of the tabloidization process and its consequences in ethical categories. We endeavor to throw some light upon them from a rationalist perspective, leaving aside any ethical evaluation of the phenomena to individualistic responsibility of all participants of the contemporary mediosphere.

John Paul II’s teaching is an expression of care for people’s well-being as well as of trust in God and, consequently, in man. It took place at a time of rapid civilization changes, development of mass media and social changes, among others such as globalization, strengthening ties on a worldwide scale. Also, it cannot be overlooked that contrary to nu-merous predictions, religion and beliefs are still an essential part of human life. They not only failed to disappear; they are being expressed in new ways. It pertains to Christianity and Christian spirituality as well. The paper undertakes the subject matter, analyzing (1) realities that are described as spirituality and theology of spirituality, (2) the personal and social dimensions of spirituality, (3) social relations (4) means of shaping and transferring spirituality – media. In conclusion the author states that the spirituality of the media and social relations may soon become one of the most essential currents of Christian spirituality.

It is impossible in one article to give a full account of John Paul II’s teachings on the positive impact of the media on the family and social life. A family, through their relationships with the society, is an important reality in human life. In the contemporary world the richness of the family is minimized, often rejected and even ridiculed. It is true that such tendencies are visible in the media, but on the other hand it is the media that can contribute to forming proper relationships, both within the family, thereby recognizing its value, and within the society. However, in order to achieve this the message sent by the media should be characterized by openness to others and should build the awareness within individuals of the values and respect for the other human being. It should also form, through the media, the image of freedom as an inherent value of human life. John Paul II sets the media specific tasks. On one hand, the Pope sees in them a great value, on the other hand he requires that both administrators of mass media as well as journalists respect human life, build and shape the public opinion properly and, finally, pay attention to the combination of values offered by faith and those related to culture. It is worth seeing and knowing the positive impact of the media on the family, the relationships both within the family and society. This will make it possible to use the media in a better way when building the good. But on the other hand one should not forget about the dangers the media might pose.
