Niedziela, the Catholic Weekly, 1981–2014: Publishing Concepts and Positioning Among Polish Media

Abstract

In the ninety-year-old history of “Niedziela” a number of periods can be distinguished. They are demarcated by subsequent editions of the magazine, chief editors’ visions of its handling and the role it played among the entirety of catholic press in Poland. The newest chapter in “Niedziela’s” history is tied with father Ireneusz Skubiś who edited the magazine for almost 33 years and since July 2014 serves as honorary editor in chief. He made “Niedziela” the second biggest catholic weekly magazine in Poland and one of the leading opinion-forming magazines in Polish media system.
