Summary/Abstract: The high publishing intensity of one of the biggest Polish Internet portal – Onet.pl, reporting the Slovak tragedy of the murder of Ján Kuciak, leads to the question: what effects can a media coverage have? To what extent can it reduce consumers’ interest in the country, such as investors or tourists? Could the so far positive image of Slovakia in Poland be significantly depreciated? Media activity was analyzed on 26th and 27th February 2018, a few days after the murder of the journalist, using a method of analyzing the media content. The aim of the article is to show the form (intensity) of the media coverage related to the political crisis, which arose after the murder of Ján Kuciak. As a result of an event that has been widely presented in the media, there may be a threat of disruption to relations such as international relations, investment and tourism in Slovakia.
