Autorska audycja radiowa jako forma rytuału
Author’s radio broadcast as a form of ritual

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the paper is the interpretation of an author’s radio broadcast in the anthropological context of ritual. I imply that radio broadcast, especially led by a charismatic journalist enjoying the authority status, can be presented as a special kind of media ritual. Its structure and course bear the features of ritual activity, determined by the specific character of the medium in which such a ritual is held. The ritual activity runs in the context of the mass media and is characterized by multi-code features and multitude of parameters, which stem from the fact that in the process of communication the contextual meanings are generated between the journalists and the radio listeners. The category of media ritual will be illustrated in the text by the examples of the selected author’s broadcasts led by Piotr Kaczkowski and Marek Niedźwiecki held in the Programme Three of the Polish Radio in the Eighties of the 20th century.
