The Poland media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Poland's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. The 8 titles tracked here span the spectrum — 2 we place on the left, 5 near the centre and 1 on the right — so a comparison can genuinely cross editorial lines rather than sampling one side twice.
By kind of outlet, the 8 titles break down as 4 news portals (see all news portals worldwide), 2 daily newspapers (Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita) and 2 television news channels (TVN24 and Polsat News). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Poland, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Poland sits in Central and Eastern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 1st of the 10 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and 6th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Central and Eastern Europe with hubs of their own are Czech Republic (6), Slovakia (6), Hungary (6), Romania (6), Bulgaria (6), Russia (6), Ukraine (5), Belarus (5) and Moldova (5).
