Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the subject of political journalism by Helena Lemańska, in 1949–1967 editor-in-chief of the Polish Film Newsreel (Polish: Polska Kronika Filmowa). The text aims to present the relationship between Lemańska’s leftist worldview and her form of practising fi lm propaganda and its evolution: from a tool of political indoctrination to a film mirror in which the social reality of Poland in the years of ‘little stabilization’ was reflected.
