Abstract
School magazines are particularly interesting element of the local communication. This media phenomenon is worth inspecting for several reasons. The number of school magazines increases, their quality improves and even more of them are available in electronic form. These letters have many social functions, and the topics dealt go beyond the school walls, becoming a testimony of the creative and critical thinking of the younger generation. Thus, for example, in France, in Germany and in the United States, issuing school journal is included in the processes of education and learning, and school functioning of the media has significant support from the institutions, which advocate the stimulation of civic initiatives. This work consists of six chapters. The first is devoted to the Polish tradition of school writings that have been operating under the various historical and political influences, and were determined mostly by educational ideals and ideology of the interwar period. The second chapter is devoted to theoretical considerations on the school press, which – due to its formal and legal differences from the mainstream media – has complex and perplexing character. The next four chapters discuss the results of my own research. The third chapter presents the results of quantitative research. 360 forms of publishing activities of different kinds of schools in West Pomerania were isolated.
