The collective work, edited by Zbigniew Oniszczuk, is an interdisciplinary look at the issues of media digitization. The facts, statistical data, comments and reflections contained therein are addressed to both scientists and students. The methodological link of the considerations is the systemic approach, which allows to capture various dependencies and regularities.

Nowadays, it is difficult to take a comprehensive and complex look at individual media systems, as the ongoing changes in mass communication entail a huge number of issues and problems that require a broad research perspective with an interdisciplinary character. However, an attempt to systematically address the issues undertaken gives a chance to indicate both the causative factors and the consequences of the digitization process that changes modern mass media.
