Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is research on events taking place in the Gdansk journalists’ environment in 1989. The presented analysis has shown how individual groups of Pomeranian journalists and their leaders reacted to dynamic changes related to the political breakthrough of that year. What was the discussion of the participants of the dispute, on the one hand representing political and media system related to the People’s Republic of Poland, on the other, the journalists who had so far been in opposition, often excluded from practicing the profession after the imposition of martial law. One of the most important conclusions is that the political environment that changed during 1989 significantly influenced the position of public journalists associated with the SD PRL. Hence, their stance could have been the subject of justified criticism as they were not credible.
