Summary/Abstract: The takeover by the communist authorities of the estate of the Kraków-based press syndicate Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny in January 1945 meant its definitive end. The newcomers in the Pałac Prasy (Eng.: Press Palace) initiated works aimed at publishing newspaper rs and magazines promoting the “people’s state”. And so the estate of the press syndicate was made to serve the same communist propaganda it used to fight so passionately before. Among those creating the new titles were some of the former IKC employees, valued for their rich experience. The article aims to analyze the attitude of the Kraków’s post-war newspapers towards the heritage of the IKC press syndicate in the period when the memory of the IKC was still very vivid in its readers’ minds. The article attempts to present the attitude of the newspapers in Kraków towards the pre-war sensational style of the press. The period under analysis covers the years 1945 to 1952.
