摘要：In the digital age, more than ever throughout the history of mankind, the aphorism information is power applies. The purpose of this paper is to find out if there is a relation between media consumption and the quality of life in countries from the European Union. The paper evaluates the impact of European consumption habits regarding written press, radio, television and internet upon the life standards of the society as they are reflected in three of the most important worldwide used indexes for their measurement: the Quality of Life Index, the Human Development Index and the Global Knowledge Index. The conclusion of the study is that countries from the European Union in which written press is highly „consumed” have the highest quality of life and knowledge.
