The research project “Journalism in change. Journalistic culture in Russia, Poland and Sweden” has started in 2011. The purpose of this project is to make comparative analysis of changes in the journalistic profession in three countries. Each research team collected 500 surveys. The article presents the results of the Polish research. The material was divided into six groups based on different research subjects: who is a journalist, the structure of the profession, journalists’ daily work, ideals and values, the autonomy in the journalistic work, the journalism in relation to society and politics. The analysis of these issues allowed to answer the main research question: has journalism undergone any changes?, and next – to indicate their direction and extent.
