Summary/Abstract: "Mass media favors public opinion manipulation"; "Children who look too much on TV do not have good school results"; "Journalists are often biased and deprived of objectivity"; "Television determines the vote" - Here are some very widespread opinions on the means of mass community and their influence in our society. Listening to the radio daily and watching TV, reading a daily or a magazine more or less regularly, steadily resorting to a mobile phone or computer, each of us feels obliged to give it to the role that- L plays the different communication tools in contemporary society. The role that media has in contemporary man's life cannot be ignored, but which has the media positive or negative role? Is it a lever of socializing or a hindrance? Is it an instrument of socialization and assimilation of democratic values, has an educational role or rather lead us to ignorance? We will try to answer these questions and others similar in this material, which aims to identify links between media and democracy”.
