Gazeta Wyborcza

Gazeta Wyborcza is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Poland's press. In Poland, Onet and Wirtualna Polska are listed as Centrist, while Rzeczpospolita is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Gazeta Wyborcza beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Gazeta Wyborcza beside another title from Poland and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Poland covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are Gazeta Wyborcza's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Gazeta Wyborcza is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Poland on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
