The analysis shows different ways of engaging the reader in the creation of a newspaper. Such engagement is the most pronounced in local press, where the bond between the newspaper and the target reader is naturally much stronger than in national media. The New Life of Pabianice has been in circulation for over 21 years and different forms of readers’ expression have been fostered on its pages. Among the traditional forms of readers’ verbalisation, there are: letters to the Editor, amateur poetic forms and pamphlets. As far as the new forms are concerned, the read-ers’ call-in columns are given prominence, together with the so-called citizen journalism. The new forms of readers’ expression, connected with the development of the Inter-net, exemplify the tendency among the readers to take over the role of a journalist. An opinion forming journalist is aided by the reader – a partner in discussion and the voice of the general public. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is indeed yet another symptom of the democratisation of the media and the society.

Satire is a form of the presentation of reality which relies on distortion and deformation. The media make frequent use of satirical forms of expression. Freedom of expression, including satirical expression, is guaranteed in the Constitution and media law. On the other hand, the civil and penal law protect the individuals being criticized and satirized from unfair or spiteful targeting.As far as the missions of freedom of speech and guardian-of-democracy of the media are concerned, article No. 212 of the Penal Code raises some serious doubts as to its undemocratic nature. The article introduces prison sentences as a punishment for libel/slander, which might be used by the politicians to silence dissident journalists. The Civil Law is not so restrictive, however, the very fact of being sued can seriously damage the financial condition of a given newspaper/website, which in turn may lead to avoidance of tackling controversial issues and self-censorship.|It is surprising how poor courts are at analyzing satirical forms of expression, and how contradictory sentencing is in cases of a similar nature. The specificity of satirical forms of expression should become the subject of extensive debate among journalists and lawyers.
