Newsweek Polska is a Polish language weekly news magazine published in Poland as the Polish edition of Newsweek.

History

Newsweek Polska was established in 2001.{{cite web|title=Newsweek Polska|url=http://www.eurotopics.net/en/home/medienindex/media_articles/?frommedia=1768|work=Euro Topics|accessdate=15 November 2014}}{{cite web|title=Polish newspapers and magazines|url=http://www.pecob.eu/Information-News-media-Newspapers-Polish-newspapers-and-magazines|work=Pecob|accessdate=15 November 2014}} The founder of the weekly is Tomasz Wróblewski.{{cite web|author=Tomasz Wróblewski|title=Tusks nomination for the presidency of the EU|url=http://wei.org.pl/blogi-wpis/run,tusks-nomination-for-the-presidency-of-the-eu-is-a-gift-from-heaven-for-his-party-and-caused-an-outburst-of-national-pride,page,1,article,1042,language_code,en.html|work=Warsaw Enterprise Institute|accessdate=15 November 2014|date=31 August 2014}}

The magazine is owned by Axel Springer.{{cite web|url=http://www.editorsweblog.org/2009/06/03/polish-papers-expand-or-merge-in-search-of-extra-readers|title=Polish papers expand or merge in search of extra readers|work=WAN IFRA|accessdate=8 October 2013|date=3 June 2009}} It is based in Warsaw and is published weekly on Mondays. Although it is a Polish version of Newsweek, it does not fully cover the translations of the articles published in its parent magazine.

Tomasz Wróblewski was also the first editor-in-chief and served in the post between 2001 and 2004, and then between 2005 and 2006.{{cite journal|author=Magdalena Przybysz-Stawska|title=The Opinion Press in Poland from 1989 to 2012|journal=The 2nd Electronic International Interdisciplinary Conference|date=September 2013|url=http://www.eiic.cz/archive/?vid=1&aid=3&kid=20201-97&q=f1|accessdate=15 November 2014}} Jarosław Sroka was the editor-in-chief in 2004. From 2006 to 2009 Michał Kobosko was the editor-in-chief. He was replaced by Wojciech Maziarski who was in office between 2009 and 2012. Tomasz Lis was the editor-in-chief from 2012 to 2022.{{cite web|title=Awards|url=http://www.ringieraxelspringer.com/en/company/awards|publisher=Ringier Axel Springer}} Tomasz Sekielski was appointed as the new editor-in-chief on June 1, 2022.{{Cite web|url=https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,28525729,tomasz-sekielski-nowym-naczelnym-tygodnika-newsweek-zastapi.html?disableRedirects=true|title=Wyborcza.pl|website=wyborcza.pl}}

Ideology

Newsweek has promoted a variety of views, mostly depending on those held by the current editor-in-chief, although it has traditionally been associated with liberal politics, much like the Gazeta Wyborcza. Ever since Tomasz Lis took over as editor-in-chief, the magazine has taken a more radically anticlerical, anti-conservative, and anti-left approach; the editorial board is frequently subjected to criticism from Law and Justice leader Jarosław Kaczyński. The cover of the 1 April 2015 issue featured Kaczyński with a caption saying "Assassin", implying his responsibility for the alleged "assassination" of Polish national unity in the aftermath of the 2010 Smolensk plane crash.[http://www.se.pl/wiadomosci/polityka/tomasz-lis-do-zamachu-doszlo-dokonal-go-jaroslaw-kaczynski_581053.html "Tomasz Lis: Do zamachu doszło. Dokonał go Jarosław Kaczyński"]
