Abstract

The subject of the article is an attempt at media reconstruction of the image of Polish-Ukrainian relations, with particular emphasis on the role of interpretive journalism in building historical policy and the perception of history by media recipients. The pretext for the analysis is the dispute related to the decision of the Polish minister of foreign affairs about the ban on entering Poland by Volodymyr Viatrovych issued at the beginning of November 2017. This decision caused discourse among Polish politicians and met with wide media resonance. The authors of the presentation analyzed the content of media discourse based on the most opinion-forming materials of Polish TV stations and weekly opinion magazines. The analysis reveals two diverse media pictures and ways of constructing narratives referring to historical relations between Polish and Ukrainian nations. Both images are outlined in the article, as well as their determinants and consequences.
