| Summary: | The World Youth Days is a special initiative taken by the Catholic Church, consolidating young people around faith and the study of Christ. This undertaking combines tradition with modernity through the implementation of elements which enhance the programme of youth meetings, held both by the organisers as well as spontaneously by pilgrims, where the whole fundamentally emphasises the multidimensional influence and significance of the sacred. At the same time, it refers on the outside to contemporary events organised within the sphere of popular culture. The nature of the WYD event can be treated as a form of adaptation of the Church to present-day requirements, connected with the assimilation of specific cultural and commercial solutions, favouring the popularisation of the sacred among the young and offering them an innovative formula of experiences in the religious sphere. This religious proposition also arouses media interest. Hence, the main aim of this article is to present the special aspect of the contemporary interference and cooperation of religious institutions as well as the media on the example of broadcasting the course of the visit of Pope Francis to Poland and WYD in Cracow. The coverage of the progress of WYD becomes part of the viewpoint concerning media events, which will be demonstrated inter alia by referring to the viewing figures. |
