Poland's Agora posts 0.9 pct rise in sales of flagship daily in October

WARSAW (Thomson Financial) - Sales of Polish publisher Agora's flagship newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza rebounded in October as the election campaign drew people to newsstands, the company said today.

Gazeta Wyborcza, which accounts for 70 pct of Agora's revenues, sold an average of 443,424 copies daily last month, or 0.9 pct more than a year earlier, according to data from the Polish press distributors' association.

The copy sales of the paper dropped 1.5 pct in September.

The average sales of Wyborcza's main competitor Dziennik, owned by German publisher Axel Springer, fell 12.9 pct compared to the same period last year, the data showed.
