Summary/Abstract: This article aims at providing an overview of the circumstances of more than twenty five years of changes in the Polish market of regional daily newspapers – from the fall of the Polish People’s Republic to the contemporary times. In this period, we have gone through the dismantling of the monopoly of RSW press, then the gradual duopolisation of the market in the hands of two groups of foreign publishers, and – since the end of 2013 – the return to the monopoly in the structures of Polska Press Group. Tentatively assessing the changes on regional markets and their implications for local markets (on the micro-regional level), the author points to potential threats and areas that require further research.
