Sieci
Sieci (also W Sieci and wSieci, literal meaning in English: the Network) is a mass market right-wing conservative magazine published in Poland.[1][2] The magazine is closely related to a far-right news portal wPolityce.pl, which is by some scientists regarded as source of "junk news"[3].
History and editorial policy
Sieci (as well as the similar competing Do Rzeczy) was founded following a conflict within Uważam Rze which led to the termination of many journalists. The first issue of Sieciwas published on 26 November 2012.[4]
Sieci's editorial policy is inline with the Law and Justice (PiS) party, and has been opposed to the competing Civic Platform party since its founding. The editorial line follows identity journalism which aims not to inform, but to integrate and mobilise supporters of a particular political option.[5] The magazine regularly features interviews with people connected to the PiS platform and presents social issues in a dichotomous manner that is divided between PiS supporters and detractors. The magazine places an emphasis on politics, presenting political affairs in a monochromatic fashion referring frequently to economic freedom and Christian values.[4]
