Our mission

There has never been a more important time to understand Poland and, as our development so far has shown, there is growing international interest in a country that is increasingly prominent on the European and world stage.

However, Poland’s rise has not been matched by a similar improvement in reliable and independent English-language reporting on the country. Notes from Poland seeks to fill this gap by offering comprehensive coverage of Polish current affairs, society, culture and history, as well as regular analysis and opinion from a wide range of expert authors.

As an independent news outlet, published by a nonprofit foundation and funded through donations from our readers and supporters, our mission is to help the world understand Poland. Our news coverage aims to offer objective reporting and to present all sides to the story, along with the context and background necessary to understand it. Our analysis and insight section seeks to represent a wide range of perspectives and opinion on Poland, both from within the country and outside it.
