year = {2018},
note = {The laws changing the system of public media in Poland in 2016 were
the so-called small media act followed by the law on the National
Media Council. Originally they were intended as an interim solution,
towards a new system of “national media” in which public
television and radio should no longer be organized as stock companies
but as public law institutions; however, they have been persisting
until now. These so-called minor changes, however, have led to
interference of the government in public broadcasting. The private
sector has so far remained unaffected by the changes, thus providing
an independent source of information, which is increasingly used. In
line with the classification into authoritarian, liberal, socially
responsible and communist media systems, Poland still has a system of
socially responsible media, although the increasing influence on the
public media by the ruling party runs counter to the pluralism of
opinions also inside public media which this system should protect.},
