ANALYSIS OF MEDIA COVERAGE IN MAIN BROADCASTS OF SELECTED TELEVISION STATIONS ON 11 NOVEMBER 2025

Abstract

This article examines the media coverage presented in the first ten minutes of
news broadcasts from the following television stations: TVN, Polsat, Telewizja
Republika, TV Trwam and TVP. Particular attention was paid to the content each station
deemed most important to highlight on National Independence Day, analysing the
hierarchy of topics, the prominent figures featured, and the balance between the
historical and political narratives in the first ten minutes of the broadcasts aired on
11 November 2025. The results of the analysis indicate that the stations differ
significantly in their approaches to topic selection, levels of neutrality, and rhetorical
strategies. In several broadcasts, historical aspects were noticeably marginalised in
favour of contemporary political disputes. The conducted study provides a deeper
understanding of specific characteristics of Polish television media and their influence on
shaping public opinion.
