Marshall McLuhan – media and communication theorist, classic of media studies, creator of the concept of the global village and of the division of media into cold and hot media, has been one of the best-known scholars since the 1960s. In 1962, one of his most popular works, “The Gutenberg Galaxy”, was published, in which he first presented the concept of a global village. His theses have been, and still are, the subject of much debate and the adoption of opposing positions towards them from the very beginning. They have attracted both acclaim and controversy. The article presents the opinions of researchers of Marshall McLuhan’s work contained in the introductions to his books that have been published in Polish. The aim of the article is a qualitative analysis of the introductions in terms of researchers’ attitudes towards the media scholar’s main thoughts and theses. It allows for the formulation of conclusions relating to the legacy of the media studies classics and the validity of his theses in the era of technological changes caused by the development of artificial intelligence.

This paper presents the anti-victimization policy adopted in Poland and Italy to prevent secondary victimization by the media of the survivals of sexual offenses. The legislative and extra-legislative activities of the state in this regard, aimed at both media representatives and the survivors themselves, were analyzed, as well as activities of non-governmental organizations. The purpose of the article is to answer the question of whether the measures currently being taken in Poland and Italy are sufficient to protect sexual offences survivors from secondary victimization by the media.

The purpose of the article is to present from a multimodal and genological perspective the complex nature of the podcast, manifested in both its audio and audiovisual aspects. Appropriately selected tools of linguistic genology and media linguistic parameters allowed not only to determine the mechanisms shaping the genological layer of the podcast, but also to capture the function played by various semiotic codes contained in this peculiar media phenomenon. The analysis of the collected research material made it possible to firstly perceive in the podcast a multimodal text, in which the verbal layer, despite the extraordinary expansiveness of the moving image, largely determines this type of transmission. In turn, observation of the genological plane showed that the podcast is a media genre with a wide range of components, the selection of which, depending on a particular recording creator’s intention, could be considered in terms of a Wittgenstein’s concept of language game, where more and more clearly within a single episode there is a co-occurrence of genres on the basis of adaptation or alternation. The titles selected for analysis revealed that the increasingly frequent appearance of the visual version of the podcast, referred to as a videocast, is dictated by the desire to show who is speaking, rather than having to do with the occurrence of a particular set of genres or specific forms of delivery in the examined messages.

Journal parlé (spoken newspaper) is a stage production that mimics the editing of a newspaper, which was created by Louis Peyramont in 1883. This experiment aroused the brief interest of French, British, Austrian and Hungarian press. The Polish press also noted this novelty, which unexpectedly had become an attractive part of parties, and then an independent form of entertainment related to charity causes. Journal parlés were shown on professional and amateur stages, especially in Galicia, an autonomous province within the Habsburg monarchy. This article analyzed about two hundred press notes documenting cultural, social and organizational aspects of specific spectacles of spoken newspapers in 1897–1914. The author showed contents and characteristics of the Polish version of the journal parlé, defining it as a form of entertainment of journalistic, literary, artistic and scientific elites of Cracow and Lwów (Lviv), which was also pursued at an amateur level outside big cities. He also characterized the aesthetics of comedy dominated by a tendency for satire and parody, which is intrinsic to this form.

Nowadays, the privacy debate is more focused on mass surveillance supported by the Pegasus system. Therefore, it is worth looking at how the surveillance and Pegasus-oriented discourse framed by various actors shape the public debate. The research objectives are RG1: separation of actors creating a media discourse on the Pegasus case; RG2: analysis of the contexts in which this discourse was created; and RG3: searching for the framework that emerged from the analyzed materials. We examine the discursive framework in which actors view surveillance as a political category and what dimensions of supervision they address. The data corpus is made up of Polish, selected opinion-forming media. The research is conducted based on qualitative methods: qualitative content analysis for the collected data and discourse analysis for the analysis of the surveillance framework and the context of the use of Pegasus, as well as quantitative content analysis for categorization and discourse comparison in the surveyed media. Analyses showed that the discourse on Pegasus surveillance was dominated by the political and institutional context and the discussion on issues such as “government and democracy”, while the framework for the discourse of certain politicians and journalist differed significantly.

Television programmes with a reality show format primarily provide viewers with entertainment based on dynamic plot developments and the opportunity to watch how celebrities or media novices deal with reality and the difficult tasks set by the programme’s scriptwriters. Each production of this type carries a number of different values and patterns, including attitudes towards human gender and the relationship between men and women. This article aims to identify and systematise what patterns and models of male-female relationships appear in the four Polish most popular reality shows based on the competition convention. Four formats, whose main goal is for male-female couples to win, preceded by a game and competition between all participants, were selected for the study: “Hotel Paradise”, “Love Island”, “Sanatorium of Love” and “Ex on the Beach”. These productions share similar gameplay rules, while they differ in the participants’ age, social status, and broadcaster’s profile. The research methodology is based on the analysis of social representations, with a special focus on gender stereotypes and determining their current categories. Based on a random sample of episodes from these four programmes, the research assumptions concerning the reproduction of cultural stereotypes of biological sex in Polish reality shows were verified.

The aim of this article is to throw more light on media framing and its impact on the public. Attention is paid to the way the BBC has portrayed Trump’s reaction to the 2020 US presidential election and the Capitol insurrection. The assumption is that Trump’s reaction to the election results was a precedent in American history, which would presumably have a significant impact on the image of the US around the world. A corpus selected from the official website of the BBC is qualitatively analyzed using McCombs’ media framing. Media frames are also juxtaposed with Gallup polls covering similar issues. Findings reveal that Trump’s reaction to the election as well as the Capitol Hill event were framed in relation to three themes. The first one is the tight race for the White House and the highly-contested campaign on social media. The second theme is Trump’s narrative of a fraudulent election and the potential violence to stop the steal. The third theme is the Capitol Hill riots and their impact on the US image and American democracy. In this sense, the article could offer a deeper insight into media effects in relation to Trump’s narrative and its impact on the American political landscape.
