Summary/Abstract: Recently, a great deal of specialized literature, namely legal and political periodicals, has debated over the constitutional dispositions of law and religion in four majority Orthodox countries of the European Union: Greece, Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria. Even so, these studies reflected just a “cross-fertilized” political, social, and cultural research. In this connection, the present study attempts to articulate the “arena” of ideas and concepts within the context of media coverage illustrating a complex understanding of church, media and politics in the context of the European integration.
