Sažetak
This paper explores the impact of the new media and Internet generally on contemporary politics, and tries to explain their mutual relationship. It identifies the main characteristics of new forms of communication, and how they affect the structural changes in modern societies, especially changes in political structures and political processes considered at three levels of a political system (the "input" stage, the "output" stage, and the stage of political decision-making process). Comparing classic media and new media, author determines key advantages of the latter, and concludes that Internet and new interactive media are powerful agents of influence, but it does not come by itself, nor always and necessarily affect democracy (or democratization) on positive way. It rather depends on sociostructural and sociocultural characteristics of certain society that shape both the ways of Internet and new media use and levels of its impact to politics.
