History and profile

Trybuna inherited many traditions, including its name, from Trybuna Ludu, the official newspaper of the Polish United Workers' Party. The publisher of the paper was Ad Novum.[1]

The paper ceased to exist on 7 December 2009 (last issue published on 4 December).[2] The official reason: outstanding liabilities towards cooperators and the Polish national Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). Its last editor-in-chief was Wiesław Dębski.

The circulation of Trybuna was 48,509 copies in January–February 2001.[1] Its 2009 circulation was 50,000 copies.[2]
