Magazyny dla dzieci polskich mieszkających za granicą „Kumpel dla Polonii” oraz „Pstryk Myk”. Analiza porównawcza modelu komunikacyjnego i zawartości treściowej

Abstract

The Polish community around the world aims to cultivate national identity, cultivate the language and transmit Polish traditions to new generations. Magazines created by Poles living abroad and/or addressed to them play an important role in this process. A particularly important role is played by magazines for children and young people due to their didactic and educational character. In the article a comparative analysis was made of two contemporary magazines addressed to Polish children aged 6-10 years living abroad: "Kumpel dla Polonii" and "Pstryk Smyk".  It proved that the magazines have similar main goals, but they differ in the way they achieve them, offering different content and differently opening a dialogue with a young reader. The analysis of their content reveals also a variety of images of Poland and Polishness, emigration and life outside the homeland, which are presented to the youngest Poles growing up abroad.
