The layoffs will concern employees related to Agora's print and digital press as well as Internet portals; the layoff process is expected to last from 5 February to 31 March 2024; the company has started consultations with trade unions. The Agora Group includes such media as Gazeta Wyborcza, Radio Zet, TOK FM, Radio Złote Przeboje, plotek.pl, sport.pl and gazeta.pl and currently employs 2,584 full-time employees.
