PLUS – Journal of Polish American Affairs.

Our mission is to promote the best image of Poland and Poles living abroad.

PLUS is written for everyone interested in the diversity of Polish-American relations, and in the various ways that the US business, economy, politics and culture have been shaped by its Polish immigrants and people of Polish descent in general.

We make every effort to present the reader with a product of the highest quality. The features are written by experienced reporters, while the layout of the magazine is the work of our team of skilled graphic designers.

Thank you for visiting us at www.plusjournal.com, enjoy your stay!

One and Only:
PLUS is the only magazine of its kind. It is the largest circulation magazine in English that is published outside of Poland and devoted to Polish-American issues.

In good company:
PLUS goes not only to paid subscribers all over the US and Poland, but also to select members of Congress, top American business leaders doing business in Poland, to State University faculties, and other important opinion makers.

Events:
Our publication has been a media sponsor of important business, cultural and entertainment events both in Chicago and the entire United States and selected events in Poland. Such events are an important part of the promotional activities of the magazine and, at the same time, they present an opportunity of additional exposure for advertisers, since during these events copies of the magazine are always promoted free of charge.

Connections:
Distributed at major Polish-American conferences, conventions and expos, PLUS delivers expanded reach and exposure for your products as an advertiser.

Inside track:
PLUS is a member and it’s unique partnership with the Polish-American Chamber of Commerce gives it an inside track on the pulse of the Polish and American business community

Targeted audience:
Our publication is a gateway to a precisely targeted audience comprised mainly of Polish nationals residing in the U.S., Americans of Polish heritage, any persons interested in the Polish culture and include anyone who follows social and cultural issues.

Next generation:
Only PLUS has made a long-term commitment to American students. Through special arrangements with over 100 schools and Universities across the country, thousands of American students of the Polish Language History or Culture – who are just forming their opinions of Poland, who will travel to Poland in coming years and who will soon work in multinational corporations in US or Poland – now receive the magazine through a special sponsorship program.
