Two crises – framing messages about the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border
Two crises – framing messages about the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to analyse the media framework constituting a rhetorical strategy in presenting the subject of refugees on the Polish-Belarusian border in August and September 2021, considering the polarisation phenomenon. The analysis results show that the topic was only a pretext to consolidate the existing ideological divisions. The materials, which should have been credible, unambiguous and reliably prepared in the news, in fact achieved the assumed goals of polarising the public, enhancing divisions and strengthening hostile attitudes towards people with opposite views (echo chambers).
