Poland's new government fires the heads of state television, radio and news

Poland's new government has reshuffled the public broadcaster's top management, fulfilling a campaign promise to reform a broadcaster that functioned as a mouthpiece for its right-wing populist predecessor, but also prompting criticism of their methods from some quarters.

The government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk was sworn in last Wednesday. 

She has promised to launch an ambitious program to restore the damage caused to the rule of law in the country during eight years of government by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party.

State media were accused of promoting party policies and launched vicious personal attacks on opposition figures, and Tusk in particular. 

"We will need exactly 24 hours to turn PiS TV into public TV. Take my word for it," Tusk said during a campaign rally in early October.

 The regular 24-hour broadcast of the TVP news service was suspended on Wednesday, with only the television logo visible on television screens./ CNA
