Prof. Kowalski: Following Sakiewicz's words, 7 thousand complaints about TV Republika were submitted to KRRiT

Polish media generally performed well in reporting the recent terrorist attack in Krakow, distinguishing themselves from social media platforms. Professional journalism adhered to legal standards and provided factual coverage, despite the emotional nature of the events. However, criticism arose regarding the reporting by Tomasz Sakiewicz of Telewizja Republika, who made misleading statements about the police's presence and the nationality of the attacker. This sparked significant public backlash, leading to thousands of complaints to the National Broadcasting Council. The council is now reviewing the situation, but potential penalties for the station may be delayed due to procedural complexities.
