TI - Protest of Disabled Persons and Their Care-Givers in 2018 on the Pages of Polish Weeklies Newsweek and Sieci and the Problem of Tabloidisation
AB - 
	The text aims to analyze the way in which the protest of disabled persons and their caregivers in 2018 was presented on the pages of selected issues of two opinion magazines: Newsweekand Sieci. The main thesis is that the entire message was subjected to tabloidization, which led to the questioning of the events that took place in Polish Parliament. The author focuses on five determinants of tabloidization, namely: colloquialism, emotionalism, sensational-ism, personalization and visualization. This review shows that the coverage of the protest in Newsweek and Sieci meets all the determinants of tabloidization . In addition to that, both sides of the public dispute are discredited and there is no detailed analysis of the whole event. Thanks to the conducted research, the article may contribute to the contemporary debate on the progressive tabloidization of opinion weeklies.
