Contemporary journalistic reporting is increasingly changing societal views in all areas of human activity, including Christianity. Historically, the Catholic Church has primarily published its contents in the form of publications, and with the development of the mass media it is increasingly recognizing their role and unquestionable importance in its own promotion and presentation to the mass audience. Nevertheless, Christian organizations have always had an aversion to any form of participation in the media, although today they even establish their own media houses in order to reach the general public in the best possible ways. For the Catholic Church in the modern sense, it is necessary to be exposed in the media in order to maintain contact with the audience, although this fact is often used by journalists. Accordingly, Christian content within the mass media is often sensationalist, biased and semi-tabloid in nature, and such information is unverified and insufficiently researched. In view of all the above, journalists are thus violating the ethical principles of journalistic reporting based on credibility, objectivity and truthfulness, which is especially true of reporting on Christianity, which in itself propagates moral values. In addition, the Catholic Church and the media need to recognize each other's true needs and respect them so that, among other things, they benefit both them and the public. The paper conducted a study of Christian articles on the two most widely read Croatian portals Index and 24 sata in order to determine how these portals inform the public about Christianity as a religion and whether they use the principles of journalistic ethics to expand the number of consumers, resulting in distorted views on Christianity as a whole.
