Życie Warszawy was founded in 1944[2] as an initiative of Polish Workers' Party and/or Marian Spychalski.
During the communist era the paper was a semi-official organ of the Polish government.[3] It was a pro-PRL mouthpiece, right until the end of communism in the country. In the years 1978 and 1988 the paper consisted of 12-16 pages.[4] The number of pages was 20 in 1998.[4]
In 2004 Życie Warszawy had a circulation of 250,000 copies in weekdays and of 460,000 copies in weekends.[2] The paper was published by Gremi Media Group.[when?][5] As of 2004 Zbigniew Jakubiec, a Polish businessman, was the owner of the paper.[2] It was acquired by Presspublica in August 2007 and in December 2011 the newspaper and its website was integrated into Rzeczpospolita as the local press section.
