This article presents the principle programming assumptions of the „Gazeta Grudziądzka” (1894–1939),
written and published by one of the leaders of the popular movement in Western Prussia, Wiktor Kulerski. The
rectified information refers to the date of the publication of the first issue of the magazine and the address of the
printing house. Polish literature from Grudziądz had a popular, nationalist and Catholic character. The founder
and owner of the paper and his colleagues focused on these three values. The „Gazeta” reached its largest circulation before the First World War. Later, due to the territorial changes in Greater Poland, uprisings and the attitudes of the publisher during the First World War, it was not easy to attract readers. With the accession of Kulerski to the Polish People’s Party „Piast”, the paper became a press instrument of the popular movement. Moreover,
after the founder’s death his son, Witold, took over the publishing company. The enduring feature of the „Gazeta
Grudziądzka” program was economic anti-Semitism. Nationalism was strongly emphasized until the First World
War, but it was presented as a defence against the Germanization of Polish society under Prussian occupation.
