Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the relation between media activity of university students and the quality of their participation in academic offer. The huge potential of media is noticed in field of education and how human relations are shaped. At the same time, they are criticized due to their content. In one of the first places critics refer to the submission of media to popular culture and entertain¬ment, promoting of immaturity of the recipients and in consequences withdrawn of adolescents from the public sphere and weakens their engagement into “work ethos”. To what extent are those observations empirically confirmed? I shall discuss this issue on the example of results of research among university students.
