Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to analyse the level of competition in the Polish press market. Digitalization and convergence have blurred the existing lines of division between the media industries and further redefined the markets relevant for the respective media products. The extension of the market’s boundaries changes the competition within. It also increases the number of sellers and buyers and therefore decreases their market shares. Even the narrow understanding of the press market (as solely a market of printed press) does not indicate a high level of its concentration.
