Abstract (The Idea of the Social Impact in the Hungarian Press in the Second Half of the 19th<br />

and the Beginning of the 20th Century) This text is based on the author’s PhD-thesis that aims ro<br />

reconstuct the image of the social impact of the new media (telegraph, telephone, phonograph,<br />

radio) in the second half of the nineteenth and in the beginning of twentieth century based on the<br />

journalistic opinions about these media. One of the common elements of this discourse was the<br />

notion of distance. The thesis presents the media-related expectations and fears of the society<br />

through the evolution of this term. Its conclusion is that media do have an impact upon the world<br />

view of a society, which builds a constant need for developing new media.<br />

Rezumat (Impactul social al noilor tehnici de comunicare în presa maghiară de la sfârşitul<br />

sec. 19., şi începutul sec. 20.) Acest text este un extras din lucrarea de doctorat al autorului,<br />

prezentat la Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai. Studiul analizează impactul social al telefonului, telegrafului,<br />

fonografului etc., reflectându-se în presa maghiară (sfârşitul sec. 19., început sec. 20.).<br />

Presa vremii era obsedată de noţiune de distanţă în timp şi în spaţiu, şi credea că acestea au fost<br />

“învinse“ de noile tehnici de comunicare. Autorul constată că societatea este întotdeauna gata de<br />

a produce şi de a folosi tipuri noi de mass-media.<br />

People do not simply use communication technologies, but also speak<br />

and make up their mind about them. It can be said: the way media are perceived<br />

affects how they are going to develop. The same medium can be seen<br />

as user friendly or dangerous, it may bring different social groups together<br />
