Welcome to Robert Stefanicki’s home page.
I am a journalist to "Gazeta Wyborcza" daily, correspondent to Inter Press Service, traveler and amateur photographer.
For most of my professional life - since 1996 - I have been working for „Gazeta Wyborcza”, the largest daily paper in Poland, as a specialist on Middle East, South Asia and Far East. Meanwhile got a job of foreign affairs editor in new Polish daily „Polska”, published in cooperation with London „Times”. Then, after several years of freelancing (writing for major weekly magazines and daily papers, like "Newsweek Polska" and "Tygodnik Powszechny") I am with "Gazeta Wyborcza" again.
Once in a while I write artices for IPS about environmental and development issues in Poland. Also contributed to Polish „Quarterly of International Affairs” and an American monthly „World Press Review’’. Click here to find my example report from Baghdad, three months after the war, in English. Not least, my portfolio includes travel reports with pictures.
Among my humble achievements are Amnesty International award for human rights publications from Iraq and nomination to Beata Pawlak Award, being granted for „journalism promoting rapprochement of different cultures”. In 2010 I found myself among the winners of the competition for development bloggers organized by European Journalism Centre in Brussels. You can read my posts here
In a free time I do scuba-diving, skiing, sailing, scrabbling and movie-watching.
