Krzysztof Czabański to become head of National Media Council

Krzysztof Czabański, a PiS MP, with four votes for and one against has been chosen as the head of a newly established National Media Council.

The body will appoint the management and supervisory boards of state-owned broadcaster TVP, Polish Radio and the PAP news agency. “The government will be completely cut off from any influence in terms of organisational and personnel issues concerning public media,” said Krzysztof Czabański on July 23, when the Sejm passed the bill establishing the council.
