Media Characteristics of the Religious-Studies Web Portal dingir.cz.

Abstract

The increase in numbers of web portals with religious orientation is justified, because they function as fingerposts for a mass viewer of today’s hectic times filled with torrential flood of information. It is the objective ambition of our contribution to describe the configuration and progression of the conceptualization of web portals. We will, in medias res, make available the journalistic point of view on the issue of adhering to the genre, thematical and formal journalistic criteria. We will analyze selected media communications, where we will pay special attention to the typical means of delineation of the topics discussed. In this analysis we will deduce the principal compositional design of the editorial team. We will confront in a disinterested manner in order to achieve proper objectivity and balanced view in our contribution.
