Summary/Abstract: The article aims at showcasing the ways in which the representatives of Polish political parties taking part in the 2015 parliamentary election utilized press advertising in crafting their political message. The research material consists of two foremost regional newspapers in the Łódź region: “Łódź Daily” (“DziennikŁódzki”) and “Illustrated Express” (“Express Ilustrowany”). The author attempts to classify the typology of advertising used by the candidates (positive/negative advertising) as well as the types of political argument used (informational; image; loyalty; persuasive; activating arguments). Moreover; the article attempts to answer the question regarding the changes in the role of the press as a medium of political electoral advertising in the second decade of the 21st century.
