It was a busy week for the team at the Laboratory of Media Studies (LBM). Part of the team participated in the ECREA conference in Ljubljana. Prof. Tomasz Gackowski and Marcin Łączyński presented a paper titled "Dimensions of polarization. Impact of images of Polish political leaders on voters' reception of political messages," while Karolina Brylska shared the findings of her research in a presentation titled "Virtual reality as a space for self-creation - an exploratory study of Polish VR Chat players."

Prof. Gackowski also served as the moderator for several thematic sessions, including: Theoretical and Methodological Insights, Mediatization in Conflict and Politics, Cultural and Social Impacts of Mediatization, Political Actors at the Centre, and led the meeting of the Mediatization section. This marks a successful start to the new academic year for LBM!
