Abstract
The article presents an overview of the Polish information space concerning Ukrainian topics during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting in 2022. It uses examples from Polish print media, such as „Rzeczpospolita”, „Gazeta Wyborcza”, „Wprost” and „Super Express”. The research results highlight the main thematic spectrum, sections, genres, visual content, and the opinion- forming role of this information for Polish society. It illustrates the image of Ukraine through the lens of the Polish press. A comparative analysis of Polish media at the beginning of the war and the changes in this informational dynamic over the span of two years is presented. Additionally, using the example of the University of Szczecin’s media outlets, „Przegląd Uniwersytecki” and NiUS Radio US, the attention given to the war in Ukraine within the academic environment is shown.
