Investigative reporters should keep their noses clean
Representatives of journalists' and anticorruption associations claim that a person convicted for criminal offences should not be allowed to be an investigative journalist.
This being a reaction to information revealed by Rzeczpospolita on Wednesday that TVN journalist Jacek Bazan was convicted several times for a variety of offences and spent time in prison. Management of the television station knew something of the journalist's past, but had no idea about his convictions and has refused to punish him in any way. "There is no "Bazan affair"," said Andrzej Sołtysik, a TVN spokesman. However, Andrzej Krajewski, head of the Center for Monitoring the Freedom of the Press (CMWP), stated that the fact that Bazan took part in a commercial should be the enough reason for sacking him.
