A media spectacle about Zbigniew Herbert's alleged Stasi past

The Polish weekly 'Wprost' recently published an article about renowned Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert according to which Herbert was a spy for the Polish Ministry of State Security. The article has drawn scathing criticism from many media. "The hunt continues. The discovery that someone whom we respect was a former agent still fascinates us and enables media to increase their circulation," Andrzej Franaszek writes. "As far as the facts are concerned, 'Wprost' tells us nothing we haven't already known for a long time. But its interpretation of the facts, aimed at creating a media sensation, is based on slanted quotes and at times has nothing whatsoever to do with reality. ... Nonetheless, 'Wprost's' publication has had a positive impact. It was the concerted protests of writers, former dissidents, historians – people from across the political spectrum – that forced the weekly's editor in chief to withdraw the hypothesis put forward in the article and apologise."
