Jacek Kurski, the deputy Minister of Culture, has been appointed as the new head of public TV broadcaster TVP. Kurski is a journalist and a politician. He served as PiS MP between 2005 and 2007 and was elected as a MEP in 2007. Kurski will replace Janusz Daszczyński who had been in the office since July 2015. The change comes as a result of a new bill on public media signed into law by President Andrzej Duda on Thursday.
