Abstract
The rapid development of communication technology and of the products of the culture industry has brought about a worldwide phenomenon that has taken shape particularly in the decades after World War II. Known as “mediatization”, this phenomenon involves various processes, such as (a) extending human communication beyond their natural limits, (b) replacing several social activities and institutions and above all (c) obliging social actors and organizations to accommodate themselves to the logic of the media (Schulz, 2004).
