 Law and the media in Poland
Although Poland has a new penal code which came into force September 1, 1998 and had been prepared with the aim to adjust criminal provisions to the requirements of the European Convention, several rules seem to suggest that this aim has not been achieved successfully.
In Poland, in the latter situation damages are relatively low and under communism any compensation for moral suffering was considered contradictory to new emerging communist morality.

 freedomforum.org: Polish news media growing more independent, speakers say
Poland, he noted, no longer receives the kind of attention in international media that it received in the 1980s when Lech Walesa led the Solidarity trade movement.
Przemyslaw Grudzinski, Poland's ambassador to the United States, said in a taped interview that the underground press during the 1980s created a "powerful state that was more real than the real state." Free press and free speech, he said, were hallmarks of the Solidarity movement.
As to the role of the Catholic Church and its media, Zachurski said "the church will be powerful as long as we have a Polish pope." He noted that the church owns a network of newspapers and broadcast outlets, although the church's agenda is no longer primarily political as it was during the 1980s.

 Poland - POLITICS AND THE MEDIA
