TY - JOUR TI - Walery Pisarek’s Publications in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze AU - Filas, Ryszard TI - Walery Pisarek’s Publications in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze AB - The article presents an overview of approximately 300 publications by Walery Pisarek, which appeared in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze (Media Research Issues) over six decades (1960–2017). For most of this time, Walery Pisarek was a full-time researcher at the Press Research Centre (1962–2001), the Centre’s director from 1969 to 2000, who managed the editorial office of Zeszyty Prasoznawcze from 1991–2012. The author of the article analyzed Professor Pisarek’s dissertations and articles, but also reviews, reports and other materials published in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze, showing the scientific development and expanding research interests of Professor Pisarek over the years. To trace the extent of these interests, the publications’ subjects were put on a timeline showing the most important stages of Walery Pisarek’s career and life. His publications in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze were quite closely related to the Press Research Centre and the Centre’s quarterly, and reflected the Professor’s career and activities. He started as a linguist who studied press language, and later he covered almost all aspects of social communication during the time when he was the director of the Press Research Centre. When the Centre became a part of the Jagiellonian University, Professor Pisarek returned to sociolinguistics developing the “banner words”. There is a noticeable balance between theoretical or methodological texts and those presenting the results of Walery Pisarek’s empirical research, and that balance is a characteristic trait of Walery Pisarek’s publications in Zeszyty Prasoznawcze. Walery Pisarek wrote about 90 reviews of books published in several languages, reviewed foreign academic journals, especially the American Journalism Quarterly, and published more than 30 reports from foreign congresses and scientific conferences organized abroad, introducing the concepts and issues discussed by world-famous media studies researchers to the Polish audience and media scholars.
