KRRiT 2024 Report: Public media crisis, disinformation, and new regulations.
The 2024 report by the National Broadcasting Council details a deep crisis in public media following the government takeover, resulting in a drastic drop in viewership and biased content. The document also highlights growing threats to citizens, such as online disinformation, and points to the need for better protection of children from harmful online content.
Key points
Public media (TVP, Polish Radio) lost a significant portion of their audience (e.g., TVP Info up to 76%) and became biased in favor of the ruling coalition after the government takeover.
The KRRiT warns about the threat of disinformation, especially from Russia, and criticizes the government for a lack of cooperation on national information security.
The protection of children and minors online, particularly on VOD and video platforms, is insufficient; the KRRiT demands new powers in this area.
Due to the unclear legal status of public media authorities, license fee funds have been placed in court deposits, deepening the financial instability of these media.
The government is bypassing the KRRiT in key work on new media laws, including the implementation of important EU regulations (the Digital Services Act).
New channels (including Republika, wPolsce24) were launched on free-to-air digital television, increasing program diversity.
