Despite an improvement in press freedom, Poland’s independent media continues to suffer under the PiS government.

For World Press Freedom Day 2022, PMA has analysed six press freedom themes which have been prevalent across the past twelve months.

The incoming president of Chile’s media regulator advocated for more public media and greater media pluralism in her first comments since accepting the post.

PMA welcomes Polish President’s veto of the “Lex-TVN” bill which threatened media pluralism and freedom, but broader concerns remain.

There has been international condemnation of the law which, if Poland President ratifies, would limit media plurality and diversity.

Bill criticised as a serious threat to independent news media and media freedom has been rejected by Poland’s Senate. But there are fears the bill could still pass following its return to the Sejm.

PMA calls on Poland’s Senate to reject the controversial media ownership bill, which poses a serious threat to media independence and pluralism.
