Poland constitutes a ‘best case’ example of post‐communist media development. The emergence of a diverse media free of direct political interference can be analysed as both a cause and a characteristic of the democratization process. Although the media reflected and contributed to political turbulence, they performed significant functions of informing, investigating and agenda‐setting. The diversity of the print media ensured pluralism of viewpoints, although the press remained generally partisan.
