Talk:Monitor (Polish newspaper)

Untitled
"Merkuriusz Polski Ordynaryjny (lit. Polish Ordinary Mercury; Merkuryusz Polski Ordynaryiny in 17th century Polish) was the first Polish newspaper,"

"Monitor was the first newspaper in Poland"

One of these is false. Or we should change to: "Monitor was the first regularly printed newspaper in Poland".

"One of the first newspapers in Poland" suggests, that it started to be published soon after the first newspaper, which is false, because the first known regularly printed newspaper in Poland started to be published 140 years earlier ("Wöchentliche Zeitung" in Gdańsk, 1618) and the first regular Polish newspaper over a 100 years earlier ("Merkuriusz Polski" 1661). Then we have "Nowiny Polskie" 1729, "Relata Refero" (later "Gazety z Cudzych Krajów" 1730) and other titles. So "Monitor" is neither the one of the oldest, nor one of the first newspapers, and such a statement suggests, that there was no/or very little press in Poland before 1765, and that the birth of Polish press was somehow related to British "Spectator", which is false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.234.9.82 (talk) 12:02, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
