Poland's State Media and the Erosion of Press Freedom

The Law and Justice Party in Poland made significant changes to state media broadcasters, turning them into propaganda organs. Journalists who didn't align with the party's agenda were fired or reassigned. The new government is now trying to undo some of these changes, but it faces challenges. The President of Poland, who is from the previous ruling party, is vetoing the government's moves. Additionally, much of the judiciary is still influenced by the previous party, posing obstacles to restoring the rule of law. The government aims to tackle issues with state-owned companies and state media, which has contributed to polarization in the country.
