Summary/Abstract: Religious media always draw a special attention. Its publishing has being followed and analyzed in a special way because of complex social state, different historical development and especially because of happenings in the last 20 years. The fact is that religious media are present, but not in the same way in all religious communities in BiH. Catholic Church, although a less numerous community comparing with Islamic and Orthodox, has the most developed and most numerous religious media. The reason for that is in the fact that Catholic Church has been following all the happenings and changes for hundred years and in accordance to those changes positions itself to media, their possibilities and risks they carry with themselves. The paper will give an overview of media situation in four religious communities in BiH: Catholic Church, Serbian Orthodox Church, Islamic community and Jewish community, without meta analysis of the content and messages.
