Summary/Abstract: The article includes selected research results on Polish WWW domains dedicated to politics. The research has been carried out as part of a doctoral thesis titled "Political Discourse on Polish Websites". It is based on the social networksanalysis methodology in which nodes represent domains, and their relations are represented by internet links. The aim of the research was to analyze the macrostructure of the network of domains dedicated to politics recreated using the algorithms which reconstruct communities. Moreover, a proposal for a new method of the selection of data - a semantic snowball, the basis for isolating the domains dedicated to politics - is also described in the article.
