Abstract
The purpose of this article is to conduct a critical discourse analysis (CDA). Two weeklies Newsweek Polska and Tygodnik Powszechny have been selected for the analysis. The focus was placed on texts on nature conservation and environmental protection, published in 2015 and 2016. The CDA is both a theory as well as a method of study. In the first part of article the concepts: nature conversation and environmental protection are defined and characterised using the CDA. In the second part a quantitative and qualitative analysis of discourse is performed. The results of the analysis indicate that Newsweek has published more articles on nature conservation and they promoted more broadly nature friendly attitudes in comparison with the texts published in Tygodnik Powszechny. In addition, in Newsweek there were proportionally more topics which analysed the issue from a global perspective. When it comes to motives, economic and moral arguments were presented in similar proportions in both weeklies.References
