CBOS poll: Financing public media

A new CBOS poll shows the majority of Poles want public media to be financed by the government budget. As much as 60 percent of Polish citizens wish the government to finance public media from the state budget. Meanwhile, 30 percent of respondents voted for the option of financing it by license fees or citizens charges. Recently, the government presented a draft bill on public media, which will turn them into "national" media as of July 1. The changes will affect Polish Radio, pubic tv broadcaster TVP,  17 local radio stations and the Polish Press Agency (PAP). The poll was conducted as face-to-face interviews (1,104 Poles) along with computer aid CAPI on March 31 - April 7.
