Między relacją a informacją. Kampania wyborcza do Parlamentu Europejskiego w Telewizji Polskiej SA w 2014 r.
In Between the Media Coverage and the Facts. The Election Campaign for the European Parliament on the Polish Television SA in 2014

Summary/Abstract: Elections to the European Parliament in Poland are characterized by the lowest voter turnout of all the other kinds of elections. The following reasons, among others, for the phenomenon are pointed out: lack of knowledge of citizens about the role and influence of the European Parliament on the national policy and generally law election activity of Polish people. At the same time it was found that the main carrier of information about candidates and election campaign is television. A special role in this regard rests with public television, which has statutorily defined tasks and responsibilities associated with presenting electoral issues and shaping civic awareness. It is therefore advisable to establish to which extent public television fulfilled the tasks in 2014, taking into account the fact that the turnout did not reach even 24% that year, and Poland in this respect took one of the last places among European Union member states.
