Adam Pieczynski is to leave his position as head of news and information at Poland’s TVN.
His functions will be taken over on December 21 by Michal Samul, who has worked with Pieczynski on the news channel TVN24 since its launch 18 years ago.
Pieczynski managed TVN24 and Fakty and has a journalistic and media and managerial career spanning nearly 30 years.
TVN notes that its news programmes have become market leaders in Poland, achieving greater audience shares than many global services in their home markets including BBC, Sky News, Fox News, CNN and ZDF.
Although Pieczynski has decided to end his professional career he has agreed to be an advisor for the TVN management board for the next few months.
