The Polish News Bulletin (PNB) is an English-language publishing house headquartered in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Its main issues consist of political and economic press digests. PNB publications are used as business intelligence by diplomats and foreign expats living and working in Poland. The Polish News Bulletin Company sp. z o.o. is partially owned by the Czech media monitoring group, NEWTON Media a.s.[citation needed]
History
[edit]The Polish News Bulletin was established in 1947.[1] In the first post-war years it worked as a competence centre of two English-speaking embassies headquartered in the Polish capital: Embassy of the United States, Warsaw and Embassy of the United Kingdom, Warsaw.[2] PNB bulletins had been prepared by a team of translators and editors who examined and summarized Polish press releases creating daily digests. After the Revolutions of 1989 and their aftermath, Poland became a free-market economy, allowing PNB to broaden its business model into a publishing house that caters business intelligence to both embassies and international companies entering the Polish market.[citation needed]
