Axel Springer, Germany's biggest newspaper publisher, wants to expand the formula of the Polish newspaper "Fakt" to other countries, such as Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic. "Fakt" is the Polish version of the German newspaper "Bild" and was launched eight months ago. Within two months the paper became Poland's best selling daily, with 500,000 copies. Its editor, Grzegorz Jankowski, was invited as a speaker for the 11th World Editors Forum in Istanbul on 1 June 2004.
