Abstract: Transparency is one of the key concepts determining democratic governance, where those affected by a certain decision shall be informed about all aspects and background of the decision. Information technologies are more and more used as an important tool to organise our lives and check performance of providers of different goods and services. In the article the coverage of processes within the public institutions is analysed. On the basis of case study it is discovered that a proportion of processes covered by the mass media is extremely small and consequently the picture about the operation of institutions is distorted. From that reason, an alternative/complementary channel of full process disclosure by using internet is proposed. A new media with full access to information could serve as an important element of providing adequate information and increasing transparency and effectiveness of public administration.
