Sažetak

In Sloterdijk’s analyseis, we can recognize distinguish the dual function of the media. On the one hand, the media can have a negative role: they it conceals the ““truths”” of the existing world. Under Tthe mass of information conceals the importance of the entirety of events and is lost, where the post-European man uses media for entertainment, to entertain, for play, or for masking reality. In that context, information serves itself; its purpose is to flow. Such “fragmentation” prevents disables the subject from to facinge reality. On the other hand, the role of the media can be constructive: the Ccontemporary media has the ability to dilate existing closed schemes which act as to deifying the state or a specific institution. If information is properly matched and molded the news does not have to be fragmentary, but rather it can represent oneness. That oneness is alive and in motion because new contents constitutes the frames through which a particular phenomenon can be observed. Thus, from the masked reality, it enters the process of revealing the truth, namely unmasking the truth from the layers of layers of delusions that hide (or represent) reality.
