The article is devoted to the problem of the development of information policy of Russian Orthodox Church in modern media. The main goal of the article is to define the factors that challenge ROC in the media sphere and identify some solutions to these challenges. The process of creation of the information policy of the Church is a unique one as it influences the inner organization of the Church as well as its external communications. The study covers the time period of 2011-2022 and uses historical and analytical research methods. The sources for this work are the official information means of ROC, which it uses in the Internet. The process of exploration of the virtual space resulted in the optimization of certain departments inside the body of the Church as well as in growth of documentation and bureaucratic apparatus and appearance of new forms of communication between the Church and the society. Although, the options and potential of the Internet haven’t been fully made use of and haven’t led to an open public dialogue.
