Fakt is the biggest-selling daily newspaper in which European country?
Fakt Fakt Fakt (Polish language for "fact") is a German tabloid-style daily newspaper in Polish and is one of the best-selling papers in the country. "Fakt" was launched in October 2003 by the Polish outlet of the German publishing company Axel Springer AG, Axel Springer Polska, and modeled on Springer's German tabloid "Bild", the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe. Like its German counterpart "Bild", "Fakt" is characterised by its downmarket, often sensationalist journalism with a populist appeal. However, politically it is by and large centrist. Then the paper supported former prime minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz's policies; Marcinkiewicz also regularly contributes invited comments. Other
Fakt regular contributors of op-ed pieces include Tomasz Lis, a prominent television journalist with political ambitions, TVN anchorman Kamil Durczok, and former "Rzeczpospolita" columnist Maciej Rybiński. Untypically for a tabloid and in contrast to its usual content, "Fakt" has a weekly supplement entitled "Europa" which contains highbrow (non-original) essays by scholars and public intellectuals, which in 2006 have included Niall Ferguson, Francis Fukuyama, Jürgen Habermas, and Robert Kagan. The headquarters of "Fakt" is in Warsaw and the paper is published in tabloid format. The circulation of "Fakt" was 715,000 copies in 2003, making it the best selling newspaper in the country.
