The programme and thematic range of the Polish Newspaper in Berlin (Gazeta Polska w Berlinie)
Keywords:
Polish press in Germany in the 19th century, Polish Newspaper in Berlin (Gazeta Polska w Berlinie), Polish migrant community in Berlin in the late 19th century, issues of Polish identity, Polish identity and Roman CatholicismAbstract
Gazeta Polska w Berlinie was launched at the end of the 19th century, a time when the Polish migrant community in Berlin became sufficiently strong to be able to support its own newspaper. Published between 1890 and 1897, its aim was to keep alive and foster the migrants’ Polish identity and to report on current events in Poland and worldwide. Although the Gazeta Polska w Berlinie cultivated a decidedly patriotic tone, it was not very popular with its target audience. As a result it never got out of financial straits and eventually had to close in 1897.
