Summary/Abstract: In this article the author focuses on showing three aspects of journalists’ activities on the internet. First of all, it refers to publishing professional journalists’ materials mainly on web portals; the second sphere is running blogs and the last symptom of journalistic activity in the virtual space mentioned in the publication is having and managing social media profiles (Facebook and Twitter). The text presents that journalists’ activities on the internet take many different forms – from publishing specialist articles which are results of their everyday editorial work to making their private photos available via social media. On the basis of Polish – and English – language literature and lots of examples, the author traces both: not only how far the internet influenced the transformation of journalistic profession but also how significantly it affected the relationship between journalists and media recipients.
