The Krakow Post is Krakow’s only local English-language magazine and web portal for news, culture, events, politics, sport, food, history, interviews, and more.

We have been around for over a decade—older than MOCAK and the Bernatka footbridge with lovers’ locks on it. In an increasingly international city, the importance of having an English-language voice in the community is only growing.

That’s where you come in.

The Krakow Post always been a magazine by and for the local community, and now that we’ve relaunched our print version we need people to get involved more than ever.

So, are you a freelance writer or artist? Have you always wanted to be?

Great! Please fill out this form and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

FAQ:

Q: I’m in! How much do you pay? $$$

A: At the moment our funds are very limited and currently focused on getting the issue back into print, which will generate revenue and allow us to pay contributors. For now, though, our contributors (including me!) are volunteers who believe in the project, as they traditionally have been. (However, it might be possible to cover expenses incurred in reporting, like ticket prices for events.)

Q: Who reads The Krakow Post?

A: Who do you know in Krakow who speaks English? Immigrants/expats, visitors, Anglophone Poles, language students, academics, business leaders… Our website also receives a great deal of international traffic from people who are interested in Poland in the issues which affect it—whether they’re journalists, historians, Poles living abroad, Polonia, potential tourists/immigrants, or simply curious.

Q: Haven’t you heard that print media is dead?

A: The consistent popularity of our print magazine suggests otherwise. Anyway, though rags like Newsweek may suffer in competition with hundreds of other similar publications, do you know any other magazines that cover everything about Krakow in English? Plus we love smelling freshly printed paper. Don’t you?
