Newcastle Chronicle launches Polish blog

By Sarah

The Newcastle Chronicle has launched a blog written in Polish and English.

ChronicleLive.co.uk will carry the blog called Poles to Newcastle which is aimed at the 5,000 Polish workers and their families living in the north east.

The blog follows the life of Polish interpreter Alexandra Jarocka who moved to the north east and provides advice and information in areas such as job hunting, making friends and language.

Chronicle editor Paul Robertson said: “Like many areas across the country the Polish population has exploded in the North East over the last couple of years. Hopefully Alex’s blog can help integrate the Polish community into life in the North East and provide a platform through the Chronicle where they can discuss issues or seek advice.”
