Media climate poses threat to press freedom

Reporters Without Borders today voiced concern about repeated press
freedom violations in Poland in recent months, in which journalists
have protested against the favours received by ultra-conservative media
from pro-government parties, a privately-owned TV station was fined for
criticising a fundamentalist Catholic radio station, and a monthly
censored itself out of fear of government reprisals.

"The current media climate is very disturbing," Reporters Without
Borders said. "The conservative Catholic media are clearing
benefiting from their ties with the ruling coalition. The High Council
for Broadcasting (KRRiT) should show some concern about this situation,
which threatens news diversity."

The Catholic ultra-conservative TV station Trwam, which belongs to a
media group headed by Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, got exclusive coverage of
an accord between the ruling conservatives, the far-right and anti-free
market populists on 2 February. Only journalists from Rydzyk's group
were invited when the accord was signed, triggering an outcry from the
rest of the press.

Father Rydzyk runs Trwam, the influential national radio station Radio
Maryja, the daily newspaper Nasz Dziennik and even a journalism school.
During last autumn's election campaign, he and his news media came
out strongly in favour of the conservative and Catholic parties
including the Law and Justice party (PiS) led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski,
the president's brother.

The KRRiT fined the privately-owned national TV station Polsat 500,000
zlotys (125,000 euros) on 22 March for "violating the dignity of
[well-known presenter] Magda Buczek and the religious feelings of the
listeners and viewer of her programmes on Radio Maryja and Trwam"
because a guest on a Polsat talk-show imitated her voice, suggested she
was an "old maid" and referred disparagingly to her inviting little
children to pray on the air.

The next day, on 23 March, the publisher of the monthly Sukces decided
he had better manually cut out a page with a sensitive article from
each of the 90,000 copies of the April issue that was already printed
and was about to distributed.

The offending article was one by columnist Manuela Gretkowska, who had
written in the February issue that the Kaczynski brothers had no father
when they were children. This elicited a warning from the presidential
press service. In her column for the April issue, Gretkowska had
acknowledged she was wrong but went on to accuse the Kaczynski brothers
of lies. When the publisher decided the column would have to be
removed, editor Karolina Korwin-Piotrowska, who had approved it,
immediately took sick leave.

The last surviving leader of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, Marek Edelman,
on 2 April accused Radio Maryja of broadcasting openly anti-Semitic
comments. According to Agence France-Presse, one of the station's
commentators, Stanislaw Michalkiewicz, said on 27 March that "Jews
have humiliated Poland internationally by demanding money" for goods
and property expropriated during World War II. He reportedly added that
Jews "sneak up behind us to try to oblige our government to pay them
money on the pretext of these demands." The KRRiT has never
criticised Radio Maryja for its xenophobic and sometime anti-Semitics
comments.
