Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie}, abstract={This article tries to bring more clarity to the issue of media control by the Polish communist party, and in particu-lar identify the institutions, political bodies and politicians who exercised various degrees of control over the press, radio and television in the first half of the 1970.
