It is with deep sorrow that we report the death of Polish professor and journalist Karol Jakubowicz, who passed away April 28th.
Karol was an active IAMCR member for many years and contributed greatly to our meetings and discussions. He was a leading expert on European media and held many prominent positions. He led committees on media issues at the Council of Europe and UNESCO, and served as Director of the Polish Television. Karol was also an adviser on broadcast media laws to governments, NGOs and international organizations, including the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media.
We are currently discussing a memorial session commemorating Karol's work at the IAMCR Dublin conference.
