A company backed by George Soros’s fund signed a preliminary agreement to buy a stake in the publisher of one of Poland’s leading newspapers.

The purchase of a 40% stake in Gremi Media, which owns the Rzeczpospolita daily, will be the third deal involving the billionaire philanthropist in the Polish media market in the last five years.
