Nowa Europa Wschodnia

What Nowa Europa Wschodnia does

Nowa Europa Wschodnia (NEW) is a Polish non-profit online analytical publication dedicated to geopolitics of Eastern Europe, the post-Soviet space, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, and transatlantic relations. It is operated by the Kolegium Europy Wschodniej im. Jana Nowaka-Jeziorański, a registered stowarzyszenie (association) headquartered at ul. Zamkowa 2, Wojnowice, Poland, with a 9-person team led by Editor-in-Chief Jarosław Kociszewski. Founded in 2020, the publication serves sophisticated readers including policy analysts, academics, and political decision-makers seeking expert, nuanced coverage of topics such as Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and the South Caucasus that are underrepresented in mainstream Polish media.

The product surface comprises a web portal (new.org.pl) hosting free and paid articles, a free digital magazine (NEW Online) published in themed biannual issues available in ePub, Mobi, and PDF formats, and the 'Wschód na szybko' (NEWs) podcast hosted by Michał Żakowski. The underlying technology is a standard web-based publishing platform with subscription paywall access management, a searchable editorial archive, and multi-channel distribution via YouTube, Facebook (105,281+ followers), Twitter/X, and Instagram.

The business model is hybrid: time-limited paid subscriptions grant access to premium journal articles (priced in Polish złoty including VAT), while the digital magazine is distributed free of charge with reader support solicited via the Patronite patronage platform, where patrons may receive print editions or books from the KEW publishing house. The organization is editorially independent, funded through reader support, potential institutional grants (including EU co-funded projects), and subscription revenue, with no disclosed parent company or external equity ownership.
