It signifi cantly changed not only the way of thinking about the function of  mass media in France, but also it had an infl uence on the press in other European countries. The research focuses on the reception of this reform in Poland, discussed in the 19th century by such authors as Adam Mickiewicz, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski and Leon Rzewuski. In the article the author asks which elements of the French reform seemed to be particularly important to Polish writers and journalists, which cases they found impossible to reproduce in Poland and what was the reason of it.
