"Poland's Government Takes Charge: State Media Chiefs Dismissed in Reform Effort"

TL;DR Summary
Poland's new government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has removed the top management of public television, fulfilling a campaign promise to reform a broadcaster that was accused of being a mouthpiece for the previous right-wing populist government. The move has been criticized by some for its swift implementation and potential to create a new politicized public television network. The government aims to restore impartiality and reliability to the media, but faces challenges from the opposition party and the president, who has veto powers.
