 abstract={In Poland, the opinion-shaping weeklies unambiguously reflect the society's political and ideological divide. As a result they hold on to mutually exclusive views of reality, and interpret each new development in radically different ways. This article examines the coverage of one such event, the assassination of Paweł Adamowicz, the liberal mayor of Gdańsk, during a fundraiser on 13 January 2019, in Poland's top weeklies, i.e. Newsweek, Polityka, Do Rzeczy, Wprost, Gazeta Polska and Sieci. The analysis indicates that the differences of tone and approach in dealing with the event itself and its repercussions form a distinct pattern which can be described as follows. The left-liberal magazines gave pride of place to tributes to the late mayor's character and personal qualities, none of them more admired than his conciliatory temperament. The liberal-conservative magazines let in an array of notable persons from the world of media, culture and politics to do the commentary. Meanwhile, the conservative right worked to shift the focus of attention to a worrisome scenario in which Adamowicz's death may be used to justify a leftist clampdown. Thus, we can see that the press is in the business of framing events into politics-driven narratives, and, at the same time, of inspiring every reader with the confidence that the narrative (comments, judgments) he gets from his magazine is the most adequate and proper.},
