Public Television in Poland: Political Pressure and Public Service Media in a Post-communist Country

This book examines the professional activity of public television journalists in Poland operating in the still unstable system of a post-communist state, to demonstrate how the media can work in the public interest to strengthen democracy

Drawing on in-depth interviews with Telewizja Polska (TVP) journalists, the author shows how public television in Poland has become highly politicised and commercialised, and must defend against constant attacks on its autonomy

Adding an important perspective on recently-developed media systems, this book will be an important resource for scholars and students of journalism, media studies, media industries, politics and media history
