Summary/Abstract: Thematic supplements to newspapers have a long publishing tradition, initially treated as a kind of bonus for subscribers and later intended to encourage readers to read additional content or richer graphics not published in the main edition of a newspaper or magazine. More contributory research and comprehensive studies need to be done on the significance of establishing newspaper and magazine supplements for press market development. This study pays particular attention to the concentration of accessories around the most important titles of Toruń’s newspapers and magazines, covering 49 titles of press supplements and the actual reasons for their publication. Therefore, the aim of the presented article is to systematize the basic knowledge of Toruń press supplements from the Second Republic of Poland period. As a result, it will be possible to obtain an answer to the question of the role of thematic press supplements in the development of Toruń’s journalistic initiatives of that period
