Trybuna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trybuna was a Polish daily newspaper with a left-wing political orientation. The editorial office was in Warsaw .

It was created in 1990 as the successor to Trybuna Ludu , the official organ of the Communist Party, which had a circulation of 1.5 million copies in the 1970s. It is published by Ad Novum . At first she was close to the SdPR Socjaldemokracja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej , later to the Democratic Left Alliance SLD Sojusz Lewicy Demokratieycznej . In 2006 it had a circulation of 23,000 copies.

The last editor-in-chief of Trybuna was Wiesław Dębski. His predecessors were Marek Siwiec , Dariusz Szymczycha, Janusz Rolicki, Andrzej Urbańczyk, Wojciech Pielecki and Marek Barański. As long as ex-President Aleksander Kwasniewski of the Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland SdPR was in charge, the Trybuna was led by Mariusz Siwic and later by Dariusz Szymczycha. When Kwasniewski moved to the presidential palace in 1995, Szymczych was recalled while on vacation. Under Rolicki the paper took on a fighting character and insulted Pope John Paul II, among others, for which Trybuna was sued and had to apologize. With the falling popularity of the SLD, the number of copies of the Trybuna also fell. She ran into financial difficulties and owed social security contributions and funds to the publishing house Dom Slowa Polskiego. It was last published on December 4, 2009.
