WARSAW: Poland’s media regulator has fined a major news channel over alleged biased coverage of anti-government protests in December 2016, with the broadcaster TVN24 vowing on Tuesday to appeal.
Teresa Brykczynska, spokeswoman for the KRRiT regulator, told AFP that US-owned TVN24 was being fined because it "failed to inform viewers that the December 16-18 protests held outside parliament were unlawful, and for urging viewers to participate in the illegal protests."
TVN24, one of the EU country’s two major news channels, is appealing against the unprecedented fine of nearly 1.5 million zloty, according to a statement posted on its website.
