The Krakow Post is an English-language newspaper based in Krakow, Poland. Owned by Lifeboat Limited since 2008, the monthly newspaper covers local and national news, politics, culture, business, sports, and human interest stories.[1] Originally founded as a weekly in 2007, the newspaper was then led by Editor-in-Chief Anne Fratczak and Founding Editor Hal Foster, a former LA Times journalist.[2] [3]

After coming under new ownership in 2008, the Krakow Post was redesigned as a monthly newspaper, with Anna Spysz serving as the editor-in-chief until late 2010. In January 2011, the Krakow Post's present editor, Jamie Stokes, took over her role at the newspaper's helm.[4]

The New York Times listed the Krakow Post and other English-language press in Eastern Europe as having acted as "springboards for a generation of American journalists interested in working in the former East Bloc — though not in the servile role of many local publications." [5]

The Krakow Post came under new management and was relaunched in a magazine format in November 2012. Published under license by Krakow Media, the Krakow Post is distributed to around 170 locations throughout Krakow.[6]

Broadsheet format (289 x 390 mm), 32 pages, full color. The ISSN of the paper 1898-4762.
