INFORMATION POLICY IN THE PARISHES OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE DIOCESE OF RZESZÓW – A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH RESULTS

The paper contains a comparison and analysis of the results of the authors’ research on information
policy conducted by priests in the parishes of the Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese
of Rzeszów. The research was conducted as part of two similar research projects. The
first one was implemented at the turn of 2012 and 2013. The second study, based on the same
assumptions, was repeated in 2018. The research was carried out using anonymous questionnaires.
The aim of the study was to analyze the information policy carried out in parishes by
priests. The questionnaire contained questions concerning elements of the parish information
policy; information policy tools used in parishes; priests' opinions on information policy tools
preferred by parishioners; information policy tools that priests consider to be the most effective;
information policy tools that priests would like to use, but this is impossible; barriers in
using information policy tools in parishes.
