Agora Spółka Akcyjna or Agora SA (WSE: AGO) is a Polish media company.
It is owner or co-owner of:
- a national daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza,
- a daily called Metro in several large Polish cities,
- 3 regional weeklies,
- 14 national colour magazines,
- 29 local one super-regional radio stations, including TOK FM, Roxy FM, Złote Przeboje, Blue FM
- a national outdoor advertising agency AMS,
- a major internet portal Gazeta.pl and an announcement website Aaaby.pl which is one of the largest on the Polish market.
In 2002 Agora tried to buy the national Polish television station Polsat. During this period the corruption scandal known as the Rywin affair, which involved relations between media and a law passing through parliament, occurred.
In 2005 Agora brought out a new daily Nowy Dzień but stopped printing it after a few months due to low sales.
