Abstract

The author analyses strong and weak points of the Church media in Slovakia. Her conclusions are based on more than ten previous researches in the field of Church and media, realized on the Catholic University in Ruzomberok, Slovakia. She states, that Slovak church media are exclusively pastoral, wilfully resigning to the evangelization function. Marginal evangelization attempts (such as in Radio Lumen in the late 1990s) have failed. This means, inter alia, that they do not do journalism in its original sense. They act as public relations bodies of the bishop’s conferences and as an extension of spiritual service of the church to the believers. The competent decision-makers (i.e. church hierarchy) are not willing to subsidize evangelization medium, because the currently accepted doctrine is to use ‘their own’ media space to spread ‘their own’ messages. Thus, opening complex topics, covering opinion plurality and encouraging discussion, is regarded as harmful. This function is, in the last years, substituted by the commercial project of the Conservative daily Postoj, but this is neither a church nor religious medium. As the researches show, also the request of believing audience for independent critical Church medium is disputable. The audience is – disregarding age – divided between the audience of the official church media and decent secular media. Between these two groups exists a relatively strong antagonism
斯洛伐克教会媒体的优势与劣势
本文分析了斯洛伐克楚奇传媒的优势和劣势。她的结论是基于之前在斯洛伐克鲁佐姆布罗克天主教大学进行的十多项教会和媒体领域的研究得出的。她说,斯洛伐克教会的媒体完全是牧师,故意辞去传福音的职责。边缘的传福音尝试(如20世纪90年代末在卢门电台)已经失败。这意味着,除其他外,他们不从事最初意义上的新闻工作。它们是主教会议的公共关系机构,也是教会为信徒提供精神服务的延伸。有能力的决策者(即教会层级)不愿意资助福音传播媒介,因为目前公认的教义是利用“他们自己”的媒介空间传播“他们自己的”信息。因此,打开复杂的话题,涵盖意见的多样性和鼓励讨论,被认为是有害的。在过去的几年里,保守党日报Postoj的商业项目取代了这一功能,但这既不是教会也不是宗教媒介。研究表明,信仰受众对独立批判教会媒介的要求也是有争议的。观众——不考虑年龄——分为官方教会媒体和体面世俗媒体的观众。这两个群体之间存在着比较强烈的对立
