Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji a Rada Mediów Narodowych
The National Council of Radio Broadcasting and Television and the National Media Council

Summary/Abstract: The considerations contained in the article are focused on the search for an answer to the question whether it was justified to create, next to the National Council for Radio and Television, existing for almost 25 years, another body — the National Media Council. The Polish Constitution stipulates that the National Council is guarding the public interest in radio and television, and for the proper performance of its tasks should participate in the appointment and dismissal of public radio and television units, as the Constitutional Tribunal stated in its judgment of 13 December 2016. In the author’s opinion, the dispersion of competence in the field of radio and television, along with their attribution to entities created by the legislator, can not undermine the systemic position of the National Council of Radio and Television.
