The Slovak republic is markedly a Christian country. According to results of the last population census in 2001, not less than 84 per cent of people claimed to be Christians. Catholicism prevails among Christian denominations. Despite the fact, in Slovakia there is not a strong periodical, besides the Catholic Newspaper, with Christian background, so an image of Christian/Catholic creed and religion is formed mainly by means of secular media. Diego Contreras (2004) from The School of Institutional Social Communications at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome led the extensive research in 1998 within which he analyzed 10 prominent dailies from five countries (Corriere della sera, La Repubblica; ABC, El País; The New York Times, The Washington Post; Le Monde, Le Figaro; The Times, The Daily Telegraph). The results of the research show that 85 % of texts covering any religious topic were related to the Catholic Church. The share was up to 90% in case of Italian and Spanish dailies. We may assume, and this is the first hypothesis of our paper, that we can gain similar numbers when analysing the Slovak dailies quantitatively. All the elite newspapers (the liberal SME daily, the mainstream daily PRAVDA which was officially a periodical of the Communistic Party before 1989 and the daily Economic Newspaper- Hospodárske noviny) cover issues from the Catholic Church mostly critically. We are planning to confirm or disprove this second hypothesis by means of the qualitative research of the Slovak dailies. At the same time, we plan to specify accurately reasons of the critical approach. The research sample of the qualitative and quantitative research will be the issues of the above-menationed dailies within the chosen months in the year 2011.Slovačka je izrazito kršćanska zemlja. Prema rezultatima posljednjeg popisa stanovništva u 2001, ne manje od 84 posto ljudi izjasnilo se kršćanima. Katoličanstvo prevladava među kršćanskim denominacijama. Unatoč tome, u Slovačkoj ne postoji jak časopis, osim Katoličkih novina, s kršćanskom pozadinom, tako da se slika kršćanske / katoličke vjere i religije uglavnom formira kroz svjetovne medije. Diego Contreras (2004) iz škole institucionalnih društvenih komunikacija Papinskog sveučilišta Svetoga Križa u Rimu vodio je opsežno istraživanje 1998. u kojem je analizirao 10 uglednih dnevnih novina iz pet zemalja (Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, ABC, El Pais , New York Times, Washington Post, Le Monde, Le Figaro, The Times, Daily Telegraph). Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da se 85% tekstova koji se bave vjerskim temama odnose na Katoličku crkvu. Udio je bio i do 90 posto u slučaju talijanskih i španjolskih dnevnika. Možemo pretpostaviti, a to je prva pretpostavka našeg rada, da ćemo dobiti slične brojeve pri kvantitativnoj analizi slovačkih dnevnih novina. Sve elitne novine (SME liberalni dnevnik, mainstream dnevnik Pravda, koji je bio službeni časopis komunističke partije prije 1989. i dnevnik Ekonomske novine - Hospodárske noviny) pokrivaju pitanja Katoličke crkve uglavnom kritički. Planiramo potvrditi ili opovrgnuti ovu drugu hipotezu pomoću kvalitativnih istraživanja slovačkih dnevnih listova. U isto vrijeme, planiramo navesti razloge kritičkog pristupa. Istraživački uzorak za kvalitativno i kvantitativno istraživanje bit će gore navedeni listovi u odabranim mjesecima 2011. godine.
