In his monograph entitled Development of the media at the service of faithtransmittance in the Archdiocese of Lublin after 1989, Rev. dr Jarosław Woźniakaims to answer the main research question of how the Archdiocese of Lublin hasresponded to the contemporary challenges of media communication. The methodologyhe uses relies on the pastoral paradigm, with its three cornerstone principles:to observe – to assess – to act. The way in which the author of the monographapproaches the exploration of his research material leads him to assume a tri‑partitestructure of his text.Apart from these three core components, the monograph also includes an introduction,conclusions, four annexes and a list of references. Chapter one offersa synthetic outline of the teaching of the Catholic church on mass media. Chapter2 relies on archive materials and the sources created by the author of the monograph.Both these sources are used in order to depict the evolution of the activitiesundertaken by the Archdiocese of Lublin in the domain of media communication.Chapter 3 lists recommendations and tasks for the future development of theArchdiocesan media in the evangelizing activities of the Church. The monographalso includes a vast archival documentation, which is divided into four annexes.A definite advantage of the monograph is that it presents an outline of the historicalevolution of the Archdiocesan media and that it develops valuable practicalrecommendations, which are worth elaborating an extrapolating on the area ofpastoral practices in the domain of media.
