The editor of Poland’s largest broadsheet newspaper has appealed to the European Union (EU) for funding to keep it afloat as its liberal stance, which has caused it to be snubbed by the populist government, has sent its circulation figures into freefall.
Despite the collapse of its readership, Roman Imielski, the online Editor-In-Chief of Soros-backed Gazeta Wyborcza, was defiant when he talked to Euractiv this week, blaming the government for his paper’s woes.
“We have two problems,” he said. ”The first one is about money, because the government stopped publishing advertisements in the newspaper. The second is an access problem because the new government and the ruling party don’t talk to our journalists anymore.”
