Masovni mediji dio su obiteljskog ozračja i na određeni način svojim postojanjem i porukama djeluju na obitelj i njezine članove, što je dokazana činjenica. Televizija je u tom smislu dobila povlašteno mjesto obiteljskog medija. Obitelj se redovito podvrgava njezinu dnevnom ritmu i međusobnom utjecaju. Koliko to odmaže ili pridonosi obiteljskom dijalogu, kojemu je svrha bliskost među članovima? Autor se priklanja onima koji smatraju da medij nije neko nehomogeno strano tijelo u obitelji, nego je element njezine normalne situacije. Čovjek naravno teži globalnoj komunikaciji i u tom smislu se medijima treba pristupati kao daru koji može doprinositi kvaliteti svekolike komunikacije, pa i obiteljske. O upotrebi medija i njihovim pozitivnim ili negativnim učincima na dijalog odgovorno odlučuju sami članovi obitelji. Ustvari medij jest obitelj. Tako shvaćen pristup medijima može zadovoljiti kognitivne, asiološke, komunikativne, etičke i kulturne potrebe obitelji i svakoga njezinog člana. The mass media inevitably contribute to the atmosphere within the family which fact, coupled with messages conveyed by the media, affects the family and its members in a unique way, as has been proven time and again. The family is subjected to a specific daily rhythm determined by the media and also to an influence which is reciprocal. In how far does it contribute to or detract from family dialogue, the purpose of which is to bring family members closer together? The author of this article advocates that the media are not an inhomogeneous foreign entity within the family, but rather play a role in the daily dynamics within the family. It is natural for man to strive for global communication, and in this respect the media should be considered a gift which makes possible a contribution to the quality of communication in general, but also within the family itself. However, the responsibility rests with the members of the family to determine how the media will influence dialogue between members, whether positively or negatively. The family itself is also a medium. An understanding of the media such as this should be able to satisfy the cognitive, axiological, communicative, ethical and cultural needs of the family and each of its members.
