Dziennikarska krytyka władzy sądowniczej i jej przedstawicieli

Abstract

Freedom of speech and, stemming from it, freedom of the press, are unchallenged grounds of every democratic society. The author relying on the limits of the allowed journalist criticism, normatively outlined and earned by the judicature and doctrine, considers the issue of applying the limits to judges. It is also indicated that protecting judges from unjustified criticism is necessary and the range of this protection should be wider than the range specified by the legislator in relation to politics and people holding social functions.
