Similarities and Differences in the Way Prestigious Polish and German Journals Conduct Public Debate Over the Establishment of the Centre Against Expulsions

Agnieszka Łada

Summary: With my research on four daily newspapers, namely "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", "Die Süddeutsche Zeitung", "Rzeczpospolita" and "Gazeta Wyborcza", I wanted to show the differences between the public debate present in the elite newspapers in both Germany and Poland. The discussion concerned an important issue in their bilateral relations - the idea of setting up the Centre against Expulsions.
