Summary/Abstract: The documentary is originally a literary genre. It has been adapted to the possibilities and the specificity of the acoustic media. Frequently, it has evocated discussions connected with its status and the character of its boundaries. Researchers tried to decide if it is a typically journalistic or artistic creation. The documentary usually takes up socially important issues but often shows them using artistic ways of presentation. This article points at different aspects of this case using researchers’ opinions and radio listeners as well as the historic, social and cultural background of the development of this genre. The perception of radio documentaries is also mentioned in order to show its influence on cultural, social and communicative competence.
