The newspaper came under government control during the Polish People's Republic (1945–1989). Following the 1989 political revolutions across Europe, the new democratically-elected government relinquished its editorial oversight and ownership of Rzeczpospolita, contributing to the end of media censorship in communist Poland and ushering in a new era of independent press.
In 2016, Rzeczpospolita had a circulation of 274,000; 75% of its readers were reported to have higher education.[4] Generally considered to be center-right of the political spectrum, the paper's editorial board represents conservative-liberal views. Rzeczpospolita is among the most frequently cited media sources in the country and is considered a newspaper of record for Poland.[5]
