Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to outline the picture of refugees emerging from radio documentaries created in the first six weeks of the war in Ukraine, i.e. between February 24 and April 6, 2022. The material for the analysis included 96 radio documentaries made by Polish radio stations – public, commercial and Internet. The study used the content analysis method to select refugee documentaries from among all radio documentaries related to the war in Ukraine. Then, a comparative analysis of selected programmes was carried out. It was established that the most frequently portrayed migrants were women, mothers concerned about the fate of their loved ones, fighting for a better tomorrow. Sometimes there were also children, although most often not in the foreground. Among the war migrants there were also animals and men – elderly or fathers, members of large families. War migrants were shown from different perspectives, and the way they were portrayed differed depending on the time of reportage.
