Gazeta Polska was an important newspaper in interwar Poland, published from 1929 to 1939 in Warsaw. It had a strong pro-Sanation bias and was seen as a semi-official or governmental news outlet of the Sanation-dominated Polish government.[1][2] Within Sanation politics, Gazeta Polska supported "the colonels" and, later, Edward Rydz-Śmigły. It often voiced calls for more authoritarian government and for harsher treatment of the opposition.
Its successive editors-in-chief were Adam Koc (1929–31), Bogusław Miedziński (1931–38) and Mieczysław Starzyński (1938–39).
Journalists associated with the newspaper included Juliusz Kaden-Bandrowski and Kazimierz Wierzyński.
Winston Churchill's agreement with the paper was terminated after the 1934 German–Polish Press Agreement, which prohibited the publication of material that might be "prejudicial to good relations between the two countries."[2]
The newspaper's circulation grew from 15,000 in the early 1930s to 30,000 in the latter part of the decade. The paper was closed in the aftermath of the German invasion of Poland, along with most other Polish newspapers.
