This paper investigates the situation of the elderly in Poland today. Beyond the general socio- cultural factors influencing the process of ageing, the authors focus on how the media depict the elderly and their situation in society. The analysis leads to the conclusion that topics connected with ageing are rarely discussed in the media. When they appear, they are analysed mainly from an economic and political perspective and are seldom the subject of more profound thought.
