Polskie dzienniki w województwie wołyńskim w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym (1918–1939)
POLISH DAILIES IN THE WOŁYŃ VOIVODESHIP IN THE INTER-WAR YEARS

Summary/Abstract: The Polish press in the Wołyn voivodeship during the period of the 2nd Polish Republic was represented first and foremost by socio-political weeklies. The local daily press in Polish had great difficulties in maintaining its position, both as a result of a poor local resource base as well as a result of competition on the part of national Polish dailies. Despite all of these difficulties there did appear, although in general for short periods only, several editions of local Polish dailies. Daily newspapers like, for example, Gazeta Kresowa or Kurier Wołyński came into being for several weeks during the period of the election campaign of 1922. Other publications, for example Dziennik Wo³yñski (1922–1924) or Kurier Wołyński (1937–1939) started out as dailies though quickly transformed their format into weekly publications. Mutational publications equally did not survive. Numerous national Polish dailies were sold within the Wo³yn voivodeship. The article contains detailed numerical data from the 1930s. The record holder in terms of actual copies sold was the Niepokalanów Mały Dziennik.
