Today the paper is printed in color and every edition numbers dozens of pages. „Przegl”d Polski” [The Polish Review] and a weekend edition are in- serted weekly, and advertisers are numerous. Nowy Dziennik is the most influ- ential and respected Polish-language newspaper in the United States, with a circulation of 30,000. It is read throughout the east coast and elsewhere and is Polonia's paper of record.
