Press releases as a component of the communication process between journalists and public relations representatives

Summary/Abstract: The article is based entirely on the results of research carried out by a research team composed of experts of the Polish Press Agency and the Institute for Development of Information Society under the scientific direction of the author of the publication. The researchers aimed to examine the role that press releases play in the relations between media representatives and public relations specialists, the extent to which they are used, and the attitude of journalists to this type of material. The research activities were carried out at the turn of August and September 2020 among journalists, including in particular people listed in the Polish Press Agency databases. The research was carried out using a quantitative research method – CAWI technique (Computer Assisted Web Interview). While creating their materials, media representatives seek inspiration in various sources, however, when writing articles they most frequently use press releases sent by e-mail. Such a position was taken by respondents, who work mainly for Web portals.
