	This paper is an attempt of preliminary analysis of Bhutan’s media system and also a first paper in Polish communication/media literature that tries to describe a country that withstood the influence of the media for many years. Press, radio, cinematography, television and Internet are described. Oral tradition, despite the growing level of education of Bhutanese people, is a key to media usage examination. This referrs particularly to radio, television and film that, in this part of Asia, are main forms of distribution of information and entertainment.
