Abstract
The subject of interest in the article are the handwritten newspapers of Teodor Ostrowski from 1782. The aim of the presented analyses was to examine the basic category of truth for the information (press) releas and to indicate its linguistic exponents. The analyses adopted a mediolinguistic perspective, referred to the semantics and pragmatics of truth combined with the field of press texts and to the concept of the „factual pact”. As typical exponents of credibility, reliability, striving for truth, they appear in the analyzed newspapers written, among others: lexem prawda and collocations with modal adjectives (prawda nieomylna, prawda niezawodna); lexemes wiadomość, nowina, pogłoska (used to express belief in the truthfulness of data and to vary the degree of reliability); the verb prawdzić się (used to denote the process of reaching the truth), lexemes and word constructions referring to the sources of obtained information.
