Agora set to take on new law which will restrict media concentration

Agora, publisher of Gazeta Wyborcza, will challenge the restrictive law passed by the government on Tuesday, which restricts capital concentration in the Polish media, and will forbid the possession of several radio and television licenses. This law will also stop Agora from owning radio and television stations. At present the publisher owns 19 local radio stations and is planning to expand into television. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
