Debate on whether to terminate the contracts of all employees working for public media is still underway.
According to earlier reports, the new law could see the employment contracts of all employees at Polish Radio, the TVP broadcaster and the PAP news agency immediately terminated.
The three outlets would become “national” media institutions. (rg/pk)
