Dismantling Berlin
wall took away iron curtain not only in economical or social-political
sphere of the life in Central- and Eastern European countries but in perception
of their nations. Fundamental changes touched religion sphere and put
in front of mass-media special tasks: without bias inform society about
history, current status, existing problems of inter-religion and state-religion
relations.
72% citizens of Ukraine say that they believe in God in spite of that
there're exist a lot of web-sites, periodical (more than 200), TV-shows,
Ukraine turned out unready to challenges of religion pluralism in mass-media
sphere.
Thus, even in conditions of religion renascence Ukrainian society is uninterested
to religion problems - this conclusion based on frequency of address of
secular mass-media to topic "religion" - 1%. [1]
Lump sum spiritual value of religion in mass-media limited by it influence
and meaning in political life of the country. Unfortunately, Ukrainian
journalism (with a few exceptions) doesn't play it main mission. Due to
this in general there're no powerful and big religious data bases and
portals in Ukraine though their existence are very necessary for journalists.
Existing crisis in media-religion relations can be explained that there're
no highly skilled journalists in Ukraine, who could fairly inform about
religion life. At last religious organizations understood necessity to
have their own powerful periodical editions and sites but they limited
by technical and skilled resources to realize their projects.
