Polskojęzyczna prasa polityczno-informacyjna województwa poleskiego w latach 1921-1939. Warunki działalności

Abstract

Between 1921 and 1939 the Polish-language political press was functioning under demanding and difficult conditions affected by low literacy, low percentage of Poles and low intensity of political life. Despite the fact that the majority of titles were short-lived (1-3 years), the local press market went through several phases of development in the years 1921-1939. The most active period was the time of parliamentary elections in 1921-1922. After the coup d’etat in May 1926, the local press gradually took a pro-governmental character. In the 1930s, the governmental administration decided to support the local press financially, yet many popular titles were still suffering from organizational and financial difficulties.
