A discussion on the shape of the National Broadcasting Council in the context of an amendment of the media act by the Polish Parliament Sejm of the Sixth Term


Abstrakt:

Several times the present parliament has made an effort to amend the Broadcasting Act and change regulation concerning the National Broadcasting Council. The proposal of amendments, which could modify the shape of the Council to the largest extent, was presented at the end of 2007. The change of the Broadcasting Act passed by this proposal, however, was vetoed by the President and did not come into effect. Criticizing this conception of amendment the author of the article simultaneously presents the opinions of media law experts and their interpretations of the Council position among the state organs which can show how this regulatory should be formed in the future.
Key words: the National Broadcasting Council, media, amendment, the Broadcasting Act
