Gazeta Wyborcza has launched a series called “fifteen themes” of the third (i.e. post 1989) Republic of Poland. Part one deals with censorship. There is a photo of a page from the GW of July 10th 1989 in which two cuts have been forced by the censor. In place of the censored information is [—-], followed by the reference to the censorship statute. Ah, the bad old days… I won’t be quoting any more of GW’s meisterstuck on censorship because a notice on the inside cover of the attractive folder it comes in says “żadna część ani całość dzieła nie mogą być reprodukowana bez wcześniejszej zgody wydawcy” or “Neither the entirety nor any part of this work may be reproduced without first obtaining the written permission of the publisher.”
