The survey, conducted by the Media Studies Laboratory team, is an interesting illustration of the opinions of Polish women and men on how the Russian-Ukrainian war looks as seen through the windows of their homes and the screens of their smartphones – says dr Karolina Brylska (University of Warsaw,  Laboratory of Media Studies deputy director)

After two years of fighting a pandemic, during a period of great uncertainty, it seems that the war in Ukraine might be seen as the straw that broke the camel's back; in the coming months this may cause many breakthroughs and reevaluations, in social, economic, and political life – states prof. Tomasz Gackowski (University of Warsaw,  Laboratory of Media Studies deputy director).

Poles do not believe in the objectivity of Polish news services in the context of reporting on the 100th anniversary of independence, according to a survey conducted by the Laboratory of Media Studies of the University of Warsaw.

The aim of the study was to find out what is the opinion of Poles on Independence Day and the ways of its presentation by the media. In the report, we present the most important findings of the survey.
