The people who write the briefings

A small, permanent editorial team in Szczecin. Five people, all of whom actually read the news every day as part of how they understand the world — not just as a job.

Agnieszka Nowakowska

Economy & Society Reporter

Agnieszka covers economic policy, consumer issues, and social affairs. She has a background in economic research and translates macroeconomic data — inflation reports, central bank decisions, labour market shifts — into clear briefings without stripping out the nuance.

Piotr Zając

Digital Editor

Piotr manages the site's production — from copy editing and fact-checking to publishing schedules and the occasional story about how media and digital policy intersect. He joined Briefingcore in 2021 and is the person most likely to catch a factual error before it goes live. Corrections, when they happen, go through him.

Based in Szczecin. Covers: Editorial production, media policy.
