Experiencing death is one of the elements of life that has found its place on the Net. Elements of social life published on the Internet are repeatedly interpreted and read by their users. The world of the Internet exists parallel to the real world. Death has its virtual representations. There are voices saying that the Internet, which is an electronic form of commemorating people, is “better than a material form of commemorating the deceased, because (...) it will survive as long as the Internet survives”. Experiencing, commemorating and celebrating one’s own and someone else’s death on the Internet in the face of the “virtual presence of others” is no longer just reserved for Blog or virtual cemeteries but has moved to the Facebook platform. The accounts of the deceased on this platform are in the form of virtual tombstones, often run by people closely associated with the account owner. The subject of my analysis was content (moderator posts, guest posts posted in the comments) posted on the Facebook social network, assigned to an active account called “Anna Przybylska”. I have reduced the analysis to the interpretation of images, signs and photographs to show how these contents (representations of death) influence the way Facebook experiences them. This analysis was used to find the answer to the question: How and to what extent Facebook allows Internet users to experience (through the interpretation of someone else’s death and accompanying images) mourning. The text takes the form of research investigations combined with multi-faceted considerations about death in contemporary culture, in particular manifested by mass communication.

The subject matter of the article is cinema and television in Europe, and more precisely the influence of the United States on their development and the way of counteracting this domination. The reason for the interests presented in the text is the conviction of the important role of the film in the life of every human community. The article answers the question of whether Europe is only a profitable market for American corporations and it draws attention to the fact that media history in the world is a history of mutual relations between American and European media. The growing importance of the United States in relation to the media caused the European Union had to take steps to prevent this domination, inter alia by issuing a number of legal acts, co-production, creation of European works and various forms of state aid. The aim of the article is to prove that Europe has a long history of involvement in media and audiovisual policy, despite the strong position of the United States and its various activities include the creation and development of regulatory frameworks, creation of financing programs and even representation of European interests outside the European Union. In the article, the author refers to a number of books, articles, legal acts and research.
