Summary/Abstract: Informing society, striving for dialogue, and making transparent the work of public administration are the most important responsibilities of various levels of government and their subordinate units. Information about the doings of rulers from time immemorial has played an important social role, but knowledge in this area has not been enthusiastically disseminated. People living in today’s society want to know how to gain extensive knowledge and how other members of society and the public authority have such knowledge themselves. This knowledge will in fact allow them to live according to their own will, giving them the right to choose activities and make decisions. An effective information policy should therefore be the basis for the functioning of public administration, as a form of transparent dialogue based on mutual understanding and respect for all sides involved.
