Funkcje mediów lokalnych w teorii i praktyce
No full textThe article deals with local media functions typology. Firstly, the author makes an attempt to describe the lowest level of the media system in general, providing the basic statistical data. This gives an assumption for further discussion about significant difficulties in defining local media and in making a comparison between parts of media systems. Secondly, the paper considers a theoretical approach to typology of local media functions considering several existing proposals. Lastly, the author analyzes how these functions have been fulfilled in the practice of local media in Poland.The article deals with local media functions typology.

Tabloidy na polskim rynku — bilans zysków i strat
No full textTabloids on Polish market — a balance of profi ts and losses It has been 20 years since Poland entered the group of democratic countries. The 1989 breakthrough forced the changes not only in political but also in media system. Foreign capital appeared on Polish market and West European trends followed. From two decades’ perspective not all of these effects were positive. One of the most disputable trends is media tabloidization. Nowadays it is hard to imagine press market without tabloids, which topped the selling lists. Changes which are taking part in traditional media are also the result of electronic media influence. Is this intersection fruitful for both sectors? The author of the article tries to create a preliminary balance of profits and losses as an effect of tabloids presence on Polish market.Tabloids on Polish market — a balance of profi ts and losses It has been 20 years since Poland entered the group of democratic countries.

Is paywall really a "to be or not to be" question for daily press publishers?
Full text linkArtykuł jest próbą usystematyzowania pojęcia "paywall", głównie na podstawie publikacji zagranicznych, w szczególności periodyków naukowych, specjalistycznych oraz - w uzupełnieniu - opracowań popularnonaukowych. W związku z brakiem podobnych materiałów w Polsce artykuł częściowo wypełnia tę lukę na rodzimym rynku. Ambicją autora było również dokonanie wyrywkowego przeglądu praktycznych zastosowań wprowadzania przez wydawców opłat za treści informacyjne zamieszczane w internecie. Praca ma za zadanie wyjść naprzeciw poszukującym syntetycznych opracowań tematu, zarówno medioznawcom, jak i praktykom dziennikarstwa.The article is an attempt to systematize the term "paywall" in the light of research presented mainly in foreign publications, scientific journals in particular, also specialist magazines and popular public studies. Due to the lack of such publications in Poland, the author's aim is to partially fill this gap. Additional objective was to carry out an overview of practical forms of introducing different ways of payments/subscriptions for the online content featured by the publishers. The author is making an effort to meet the expectations of both academics and practitioners seeking for synthetic studies on the subject
Tabloidyzacja programów informacyjnych na przykładzie wrocławskich stacji telewizyjnych
Full text linkWrocław is the capital city of one of the few Polish regions where regional and local terrestrial television stations compete with one another. The regional broadcaster is represented by a branch of public television, while the privately-owned Telewizja Dolnoślaska, a part of the Odra network, represents the local one. Both stations provide current affairs and journalistic programs. This paper is an attempt at a comparative analysis of the main news programs of Telewizja Wrocław (Fakty) and Telewizja Dolnośląska (Informacje). The analysis particularly focuses on the proportions of hard and soft news, which the author believes may be a confirmation of the tabloidization of the media. The comparison of the content presented by the two competing stations provides certain grounds, albeit limited, due to the scope of the analysis, to assess the state of regional and local television in Poland.Wrocław is the capital city of one of the few Polish regions where regional and local terrestrial television stations compete with one another.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Obcy kapitał w polskiej prasie ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dzienników regionalnych w dwadzieścia lat po przełomie
No full textForeign companies presence on Polish press market with particular consideration to regional dailies — 20 years after the breakthrough In the communist era regional media in Poland were part of a monopoly system. No sooner had Polish media entered the path of free market than in mid-1989 when communism collapsed and Solidarity took over the wheel of political power. Poland had started a long-lasting process of democratization. During demolition of press monopoly political matters had essential influences. Hence, whereas some investors were warmly welcomed, others were excluded. Yet it was not taken into consideration to limit foreign companies’ shares in Polish press publishing houses/companies. In effect most regional dailies were taken over. After 20 years of free market governance a new kind of monopoly system is emerging as a few large media companies are controlling the whole media market. In the Lower Silesia, which can be used as a prism for highlighting this process of change, the only one of them has left. How has this happened? Will this occur also in other regions in Poland? At the beginning of the new century Axel Springer appeared and introduced a weekly opinion journal and two years later a tabloid “Fakt”, which immediately topped the readership and circulation rankings. The last try with prestigious daily newspaper “Dziennik” did not succeed and Springer had to join it with other newspaper. One of the possible causes of this failure were political matters and changing the strategy alignments. Fear competition and political affiliation/sympathies led to a strong politicization in countrywide dailies. The article tries to cope with giving answers to questions such as: how did the foreign companies influence Polish market? What were their strategies of doing business? To what extent did their presence and activity change the media and Polish journalism? And the last but not least, what may happen on the press market in Poland in the nearest future.Foreign companies presence on Polish press market with particular consideration to regional dailies — 20 years after the breakthrough In the communist era regional media in Poland were part of a monopoly system.
