The change of government meant that many existing employees had to look for new employment. This particularly affected people who used their face to advertise the political and propaganda pap of Polish Television, which Jacek Kurski turned public media into in 2016. How many people exactly found employment at TVP instead? That’s what he was trying to find out.
How many people have been employed at TVP in recent months?
Telewizja Polska, as a joint stock company of the State Treasury and the Polish public television broadcaster, is obliged to answer questions related to access to public information. She may try to evade the question by giving an answer that is not entirely direct or by going around the question so as not to provide a clear answer, but she cannot remain silent on the matters she is being asked about. And this is exactly what happened in the case of questions asked by Press.pl.
We submitted our first application on February 28. (…) We did not receive an answer. We submitted another application on April 19. (…) The maximum day deadline for providing information has passed and we did not receive any response this time – we read on Press.pl.
Telewizja Polska itself employs almost three thousand people. According to , journalists’ jobs accounted for only 10 percent. employed employees. There will be a maximum of 100 directors and deputies by 2022. Due to profound changes in the public media, most directors and their deputies have lost their jobs since December 2023, as well as a significant part of the journalists employed so far. How much exactly – it is not known. It is also unknown how many people were hired to replace them. An optimistic assumption suggests that this is a smaller number than the one shown in the Supreme Audit Office’s report for previous years – public media were put into liquidation and strong financial cuts were ordered. (especially those with “2” in the name: TVP Kultura 2, TVP ABC 2), some will be merged into one new channel (the merger of three specialized channels will create TVP Wiedza).
