Description
Poland's pro-EU government launches a reform of state media and sacked their management, with public broadcasts interrupted and right-wing lawmakers staging a sit-in to protest the changes.
The shakeup comes a week after Prime Minister Donald Tusk took power after eight years of rule by the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party.
State-owned media under the PiS were regularly accused of biased reporting, transmitting government propaganda and launching verbal attacks on the opposition. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
