Janusz DUNIN: The poetry In the Press. The forgotten kind of journalism

The article concerns journalistic texts in rhyme. Having tried to define and distinguish them from poetry, which can also be published in periodicals, the author reviews some examples of Polish poems related to current events. In 19th and 20th centuries verses were most often published in journals. At the end of 20th century such a practice is in decline. The author suggests that this is concerned with the fact that satirical journals are disappearing from the Polish market in 21st century.
