These rights in Slovakia in case of the print media are guaranteed by the Press Law. The adoption of the law protecting the right to make corrections and the right to reply against the print media was strongly objected by the mass media as well as by the parliamentary political parties belonging to the opposition. The public discussion on the draft of the Press Law was managed in a misleading manner. No attention was paid to many issues of real relevance. Hence, the National Council (the Slovak parliament) approved the law which does not cover the legal status of foreign publishers and press agencies. The enforcement of right to make corrections and the right to reply is poor, if the obliged person ignores the entitled person with his/her requirement for publishing of the correction or the reply. A series of other issues identified within this paper are waiting for a binding interpretation by the competent governmental authorities in the phase of application of the Press Law. It is up to the judiciary within its case-law on right to make corrections and the right to reply.

The first attendant phenomenon of digitalization and the necessity of its proper reflexion within the relations regulated by law is the constitutional importance of changes interconnected with the broadcasting digitalization. The common denominator of considered constitutional changes is the purpose of legal regulations which is the protection of information plurality spread by media. It is necessary to proclaim that the Article No. 26 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic can not keep its current version which it was given by overwri-ting Article No. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms collaterally with overwriting Article No. 19 of the UN Convent on Civil and Political Rights without taking into account the aspect of the freedom of speech regulations in legal texts of the juridical states at the end of 20th century. Another change related to digitalization is the change of the importance of the law on broadcasting and retransmission in the legal code. The role of the basic source of mass media law for electronic media is transferred to the digital broadcasting law.
