Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of an interview entitled “The Journalist Breaks the Silence! An Interview with Kamil Durczok” posted on the channel “Czyż tak!” on August 21, 2020. The interview was recorded at the Korez theater in Katowice, and its subject matter concerns the existential and image crisis that a well-known journalist and long-term editor-in-chief of the television newscast “Fakty” (TVN network) is struggling with. The analysis of the rhetoric of the participants' statements, the cultural symbols and meanings inherent in the presented space allowed to recognize the complicated game that Durczok and Czyż play with the situation of confession – with the compulsion to tell the truth, which in the society of the media spectacle is accompanied by the need to shape their own image.
