Summary/Abstract: The article presents arguments for including research conducted in Poland on public relations within the field of media studies. The author assumes public relations should be treated as a new discipline of knowledge and communication practices with the environment of every organization/institution. He analyses the evolution of terms defining public relations in the entire 20th century and focuses on the currently identifiable stage of PR development, in which the two-way method is the basic form of communication, by means of which the organization/institution wants to listen to the expectations of its audience groups with even greater detail. Rules regulating such a broad media market, cooperation between PR specialists and media people, the ethics of their actions, legal and technical aspects of existing media entities, the efficiency and social consequences of PR specialist’s actions, as well as the reception of all media content are current research tasks, which should be within the field of interest of media studies.
