Summary/Abstract: The article addresses a topic related to the complex problem of authorship in the field of popular music today, as well as the challenges of trying to highlight the ‘image’ of the author in the context of the joint and shared creative efforts involved in creating а final music product. The text analyses these issues through the interpretive optics of Professor Will Straw, a contemporary Canadian researcher in the field of media studies. The presented reflections are based on his commentary on the ‘diffused’ image of the author in popular music in view of certain specific developments in the second half of the 20th century.
