The creation of a place is not only an ethnographic problem. The place as a phenomenological construction is supported by certain ideas about the community and media associated with it. The two platforms, place and media, have a common collective – their adjacent community. For the purposes of the article, a survey was conducted on civic attitudes, the function of local media and the reaction of local authorities. The results show an interesting view of the citizens themselves about the role assigned to them in the relationship with the media, authorities and each other. Civic contribution is extremely important for the perception of the activity and engagement of local residents in problems and the search for their solutions.
