''Gazeta Wyborcza'' (; meaning ''Electoral Gazette'' in English) is a newspaper published in Warsaw, Poland. It covers the gamut of political, international and general news from a liberal perspective. ==History and profile== ''Gazeta Wyborcza'' was first published on 8 May 1989, under the rhyming masthead motto, "''Nie ma wolności bez Solidarności''" ("There's no freedom without Solidarity"). The founders are Andrzej Wajda, Aleksander Paszyński and Zbigniew Bujak.〔 Its founding was an outcome of the Polish Round Table Agreement between the communist government of the People's Republic of Poland and political opponents centered around the Solidarity movement. It was initially owned by Agora SA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pressreference.com/No-Sa/Poland.html )〕 Later Cox Communications partially bought the daily.〔 The company became American Company "Cox Enterprises" in 1993. The paper was to serve as the voice of Solidarity during the run-up to semi-free elections held on 4 June 1989 (hence its title). As such, it was the first legal newspaper published outside the communist government's control since its founding in the late 1940s. The paper's editor-in-chief, since its founding, has been Adam Michnik. He was appointed to the post by Lech Walesa. The paper is published in tabloid format.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.agora.pl/im/2/740/m740532.pdf )〕 According to the editors, the first edition was small (150,000 copies) and relatively expensive due to the limited supplies of paper available from the state. A year and a half later, the daily run had reached 500,000 copies. In September 1990, during the acrimonious breakup of the Solidarity camp following the collapse of the communist government, Lech Wałęsa revoked the paper's right to use the Solidarity logo on its masthead. Since then, ''Gazeta Wyborcza'' has been a fully independent newspaper which generally supports liberal values. The paper is now a massive multi-section daily newspaper and publishes daily local editions for the following cities: Warsaw, Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Częstochowa, Gdańsk, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Katowice, Kraków, Kielce, Lublin, Łódź, Olsztyn, Opole, Płock, Poznań, Radom, Rzeszów, Szczecin, Toruń, Wrocław and Zielona Góra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gazeta Wyborcza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
