ZARAGOZA, Spain - Polish news organisation Gazeta Wyborcza and the Gazeta Wyborcza foundation were on Wednesday awarded the World Association of News Publishers' annual award which recognises efforts to uphold press freedom.
The foundation has also been coordinating critical financial and technical support to Ukrainian journalists followingThe Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation's Ukrainian Media Fund has helped deliver newsprint to Ukraine, and is now financing 50 Ukrainian media outlets with the help of Nordic media and a grant from the Swedish government.
Accepting the award on behalf of the Gazeta Wyborcza newsroom, Mr Piotr Stasinski, former deputy editor-in-chief and current special media advisor to the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation, said:"Under PiS rule, media freedom in Poland has been seriously infringed. Already, we see a growing chilling effect; and a decreasing number of media outlets that are free and independent."
Gazeta Wyborcza is today one of Poland's few remaining independent news titles. It has come under constant attack from the authorities, and Wan-Ifra said it faces around 100 legal challenges. It has a daily print circulation of 70,000 and 300,000 digital subscribers. "Gazeta Wyborcza and the Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation are showing us the way, providing just that, showing there is indeed"no freedom without solidarity."
