Activity profile of the Ośrodek Badań Prasoznawczych in Cracow in the RSW’s documents „Prasa-Książka-Ruch” during the years of political breakthrough (1980–1983)

Summary/Abstract: The activity profile of the Press Research Centre (OBP) in Cracow in 1980–1983, which emerges from the content of documents located in the fonds of RSW’s „Prasa-Książka-Ruch”, allowed to define a general belief about a limited influence of the RSW leadership on a substantive work of OBP. Research topics realized at that time were a sign of peculiar sensibility of political administrators, including Wydział Prasy, Radia i Telewizji KC PZPR, to the challenges emerging from public space in terms of mass and social communication in 1980–1983. Another issue was the Party’s susceptibility to conclusions drawn from the prepared analyses. After the introduction of martial law, the activity of OBP was limited by new legal, political and economical requirements. The important element in the policy of the OBP leadership after13 December 1981 was the preservation of OBP faculty after the staff verification in early 1982, which was necessary in this kind of institutions.
