Comments on: It’s like the BBC, but from Poland http://thepolskiblog.co.uk/2010/05/its-like-the-bbc-but-from-poland/ Polish blog in English, helping Brits understand Poles Sun, 13 May 2012 21:23:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Annette http://thepolskiblog.co.uk/2010/05/its-like-the-bbc-but-from-poland/comment-page-1/#comment-13397 Annette Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:01:36 +0000 http://thepolskiblog.co.uk/?p=1169#comment-13397 We have actually been looking for similar websites ever since our daughter found out she would be part of a US-Poland Exchange program. She is actually in Lodz right now, and will be heading to Warsaw and then Krakow. We have developed a wonderful friendship with her host family and look forward to visiting Poland ourselves someday. It is nice to get information about Poland. She is blogging about her experience if you are interested (www.tafulton.com) We have actually been looking for similar websites ever since our daughter found out she would be part of a US-Poland Exchange program.

However, I was appalled at the crass comments left by 'bloggers' in particular the article on immigration. It really lowered the tone of an otherwise excellent site. Luckily your blog doesn't have any of these issues! The News.pl was really interesting to read and get an overview of what is happening in Poland.

Its particulalry good at reflecting current Polish political obsessions and perspective, which is important to me. However, the bias is not too extreme and is primarily included in the headlines: the text often corrects the 'untruths' given by the headline writer.

Radio Wroclove (an English language radio station in Wroclaw - http://www.radiowroclove.pl) also do Podcasts although their news out put is limited and mostly focused on Wroclaw which is fine for me as I love the city.

My wife is Polish and I hear a lot about Polish news, so it's good to be able to follow these in English - at least until my Polish gets better :) Thanks for writing about this!
