Summary/Abstract: The publication focuses on the relationship between the media and politics, which is increasingly developing a dependence on the “media logic”. The goal is to describe and trace the stages, to understand the effects of the processes of mediatized politics, which changes the public roles of journalists and politicians, creates a conflict environment of confrontation, sensationalism and spectacle. Examples from Bulgaria and the world are described. It is assumed that the results of these processes intensify the erosion of democracy, undermine trust in institutions and traditional authorities, and withdraw citizens from political processes.
