The paper focuses on the trends and shifts in the journalitists’ motivations and roles perception that have been occurring in the last four decades. The findings show that since the transformation period in the late 1989s and early 1990s, Polish journalists seem to be more individualistic and professional-oriented than social and altruist-oriented. The contemporary model of the Polish journalism built upon journalists’ declarations on the media roles is a combination of the news-provider and a forum of a broad spectrum of the political opinion presentation – oriented model, with a watchdog – style journalism. Traditional roles of the Polish journalists, such as education and motivation of the citizens, seem to be of the secondary importance for the media people today.   VL - 2016 IS - Tom 59, Numer 2 (226) PY - 2016 SN - 0555-0025 C1 - 2299-6362 SP - 393 EP - 407 DO - 10.4467/22996362PZ.16.026.5430 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/zeszyty-prasoznawcze/artykul/zmiany-motywow-wyboru-zawodu-dziennikarskiego-w-polsce KW - journalists KW - Poland KW - motivations KW - professional roles KW - changes
