Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie}, abstract={This article tries to bring more clarity to the issue of media control by the Polish communist party, and in particu-lar identify the institutions, political bodies and politicians who exercised various degrees of control over the press, radio and television in the first half of the 1970. An analysis of various kinds of records and data indi-cates that the day-to-day business of setting the party line for the media was in the hands of propaganda de-partments at the level of the Central Committee. In 1972 they were merged into a single Department of Propa-‑ganda, Press and Publications, headed by Jerzy Łukaszewicz, member of the CC Secretariat, and overseen by Jan Szydlak, member of the Poliburo.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Media control by the Polish United People’s Party in 1970–1975}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/120563/2021-03-RHPP-05-Wojslaw.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rhpp.2021.137745}, keywords={Polish mass media in the 1970s, communist party control apparatus, Polish United People's Party under Edward Gierek, Department of Propaganda, Press and Publications, Jerzy Łukaszewicz (1931–1983)}, }
