Profile

Its editor-in-chief is Tomasz Sakiewicz. Its contributors include: Piotr Lisiewicz, Jacek Kwieciński, Eliza Michalik, Robert Tekieli, Krystyna Grzybowska, Maciej Rybiński, Jacek Łęski, Piotr Semka, Jerzy Targalski, Marcin Wolski, Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski and Rafał A. Ziemkiewicz.
The description of its political orientation ranges from conservative to right-wing, extreme right-wing and nationalist on the far-right.
Gazeta Polska is also described as, compared to Myśl Narodowa Polska, and AK Weteran, "less radical" right-wing. The Gazeta Polska "offers a good representation of the sympathies of PiS supporters".
Gazeta Polska maintains a number of clubs, which are located not only in Poland, but also abroad, in places where Polonia is present. The clubs organise meetings with writers, politicians and public figures, rallies and demonstrations. On 15 March 2012 Gazeta Polska organized "The Great Trip to Hungary". A reserved train left Warsaw Central Station, stopping on the way to Hungary at Radom, Kielce, Kraków, Tarnów and Nowy Sącz. Altogether, 3,000 people went to Budapest, to demonstrate in support of Viktor Orbán.
On 1 March 2019, French minister of Higher Education Frédérique Vidal complained to the Polish government for the fact that the New Polish School of Holocaust Scholarship seminar held at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, in Paris, has been roughly disrupted "on a very organized manner" by Polish activists for the "Gazeta Polska" weekly. Vidal further stated that Polish state representatives supported the disruption.
The print and e-edition circulation of Gazeta Polska was 40,660 in August 2014.
stickers distributed by Gazeta Polska
In 2019, Gazeta Polska announced plans to distribute stickers proclaiming an "LGBT-free zone" to its readers. Gazeta Polska said it would include the stickers, which feature an image of a black cross over a Pride flag alongside the slogan. On 25 July, a District Court in Warsaw ordered the Gazeta Polska weekly to withdraw the anti-LGBT stickers from circulation. However, the editor of the magazine dismissed the ruling saying it was "fake news" and censorship, and that the paper would continue distributing the sticker.
