TheKrakow Post is anEnglish-language newspaper based inKraków,Poland. Owned by Lifeboat Limited since 2008, the monthly newspaper covers local and national news, politics, culture, business, sports, and human interest stories.[1]
Founded as a weekly in 2007, the newspaper was then led by Editor-in-Chief Anne Fratczak and Founding Editor Hal Foster, a formerLos Angeles Times journalist.[2][3]
After coming under new ownership in 2008, theKrakow Post was redesigned as a monthly newspaper, with Anna Spysz serving as the editor-in-chief until late 2010.
In January 2011, Jamie Stokes took over her role at the newspaper's helm.[4] Steven Hoffman has been editor-in-chief of the online version since February 2015.[5]
In 2011,The New York Times referred to theKrakow Post and other English-language press inEastern Europe as having acted as "springboards for a generation of American journalists interested in working in the formerEast Bloc — though not in the servile role of many local publications."[6]
TheKrakow Post came under new management and was relaunched in a magazine format in November 2012.
In May 2021, Giuseppe Sedia launched the website Kino Mania which functions also as an archive of the film reviews on Polish cinema that he penned for theKrakow Post in the previous decade. Currently, over 150 film reviews are featured on the website which includes as well a section about Polish School of Posters and the designs created for local film productions.[7]
