Bardziej martwa czy bardziej znana – teksty prasowe związane ze śmiercią Anny Przybylskiej
Abstract
The article contains analyses of the several press publications that appeared in Polish tabloids after Anna Przybylska’s death in 2014. The analysed material proves that a death of a celebrity holds an importance for media mainly because of her/his previous presence in media and not because of the consolation function of a text itself. Such texts are deeply rooted in a tradition of funeral literature, yet they serve completely different purpose.
