Fakt (
Polish for "fact") is a
Polish tabloid-style daily
newspaper and the biggest-selling paper in the country, with a circulation of more than 500,000 and an estimated readership of 7 million. The paper was launched in October
2003 by the Polish outlet of the
German publishing company
Axel Springer AG, Axel Springer Polska, and modeled on Springer's German tabloid
Bild, the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe. Like its German counterpart Bild, Fakt is characterised by its downmarket, often sensationalist journalism with a populist appeal. However, politically it is by and large centrist. More recently, it has supported former prime minister
Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz's policies; Marcinkiewicz also regularly contributes invited comments. Other regular contributors of op-ed pieces include
Tomasz Lis, a prominent television journalist with political ambitions,
TVN anchorman Kamil Durczok, and former
Rzeczpospolita columnist
Maciej Rybiński.
