Press Freedom - Poland’s president vetoes controversial media law following pressure from US

Poland’s president has vetoed a controversial media law that had been passed in the country’s parliament, under pressure from the US.

The president noted that the bill was unpopular with many Poles and would have dealt a blow to Poland’s reputation as a place to do business.
