For a long time, literary reportage has been a popular element of the Polish literary scene, but after 1989 its role and form changed: it turned out to be the voice of those whose voice had been taken away – we can consider this thought to be the thesis of this study. For it to be constituted, readers are obviously needed. For without them,no one will hear the calls of these people. There is an interesting and important method (as well as possible differences between methods) used by the authors of the books which I have indicated. It is worth examining whether, at the level of the texts, in how the text is written, a given reportage is the voice of someone else. I distinguish the following categories of this type of reportage: reportage about victims of the system, reportage devoted to representatives of Poland B, reportage about post-Soviet countries, reportage devoted to minorities. The situations discussed in the text may be considered discriminatory; besides, certain stereotypes are still present in the public consciousness. The aim of the article is to show that contemporary Polish reportage, being the voice of those whose voice has been taken away, can confront discrimination and stereotypes and play an important role in overturning a particular taboo.
