Summary/Abstract: Digital libraries provide an easy and convenient source of data for journalistic academicresearch. In this paper, the author answers the question of whether the most well-knownsocio-political Polish press titles published between 1918 and 1939 are available onlineand to what extent they are fully digitised and accessible in digital libraries. Throughmedia content analysis and the press content analysis methods of Walery Pisarek, all thedigital resources available for an ordinary Internet user were browsed. The main roleof the analysis was to establish which journals and periodicals were published weeklyand as daily newspapers. Also, the nature and political leanings of press publicationswere taken into consideration (each press title was usually associated with a particularparty). At the same time, the texts were profiled as regional, national, Catholic, etc.Finally,an attempt to develop a typology of the given titles is made.
