Wprost ("Outright") is a weekly newsmagazine in Poland, founded on December 5, 1982 as a regional magazine in Greater Poland, since 1989 it is distributed country-wide. Editorial office is currently located in Warsaw. "Wprost" is an opinion weekly focused on politics and society and has a liberal-conservative profile. Marek Król is the publisher of the magazine and Piotr Gabryel is the editor-in-chief. "Wprost" is the second most popular opinion weekly in Poland with a circulation of 150 000 copies (as of June 2006). Its online edition is one of the most popular websites in Poland.
Past and present contributors include: Leszek Balcerowicz, Rafał A. Ziemkiewicz and Stanisław Tym.
Wprost sometimes shows a Christian and conservative bias in their articles. This leads to faithful readership and sworn enemies. Some of controversial and acclaimed articles included the criticism of former president of Poland Aleksander Kwasniewski and his "mafia" (2005), or the criticism of the Polish Army SFOR contingent in Bosnia (1998).
