Summary/Abstract: The author begins with the omnipresence of powerful mass media industries and the need to have them universally researched, taking the example of Croatian culture as a segment of our social reality, because it stresses the ontological status of culture in society, which is produced by society and "culture". After explaining the fundamental concepts (media, culture) and the basic divisions of the media (printed; electronic; new media) the author warns of the, diachronically speaking, multilingual quality of our communication models and informs of the theoretical approaches to the main media unit, the text, from the viewpoint of literary science, i.e. journalism. The author suggests – as a possible one – the research model that explains the four basic levels crucial to the realisation of relations between the media and culture (information; critical reception; the media as areas of realisation of cultural forms; the media – a reflection and source of the history of Croatian culture).
