This article consists of two parts. In the first one, I analyse relations between a reportage and a feature. Differences can be found in the way these notions are defined by scholars in Poland and in Western Europe. Polish radio documentaries are based on authenticity, while in a feature the truth intermingles with fiction. My Lobotomy, by David Isay and Piya Kochhar, serves as an example of a work which presents both authentic characters and some fictional elements. In the second part of the article I focused on the analysis of this American feature. As far as I am concerned, what makes the work most interesting is the relationship between the protagonist’s authentic and spontaneous reactions and the read out narrative sequences.

In this essay, I describe the history of radio reportage. For me, its most interesting aspect is the fact that this genre has been changing over the years from reports based on authentic stories to features with fiction added. The latest form includes as much artistic means of expression and fiction as pure information. This leads to the question: Is a feature – radio documentary with fiction added – the opposite to the classic Polish understanding of reportage as an information genre? Some Polish radio documentaries and most of those in the West are features, so they are partly fictional. It is not clear what should we call “fiction”. For now this is only a proposal, but it provides a first step.

The article consists of two parts. In the first, I analyse the relations between reportage and the feature. There are differences in the definitions of the two genres, in statements by researchers, and in the Polish and western European understanding of the feature and reportage. The main element in Polish radio documentaries is authenticity, while in the feature truth is mixed with fiction. An example of work with a mix of authentic characters and fiction is My Lobotomy by Dave Isay and Piya Kochher. In second part of the article, I focus on an analysis of this American feature. In my opinion, the most interesting aspect is the relation between the authentic, spontaneous reactions of the main characters and the narrative parts, which are read.
