Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is analysis of visual materials (about school and education) which was published in 2009–2010 in 5 polish opinion-forming weeklies: “Newsweek”, “Polityka”, “Wprost”, “Przegląd”, “Gość Niedzielny”. Visual language is understood by me as language of discourse. When I analysed texts in visual language I used one method – analysis of discourse. The reason is one: this is opinion of researcher who goes about problematic of discourse, R. Wodak. She pays attention to the fact that we can observe many new texts which are connection of written and and visual elements. The reason of this fact is one – exponential development of new technologies. We can observe many interactions and between visual elements and written meanings. Moreover, visual elements have huge impact on written meanings. We can’t ignore this fact in analysis.
