“The Things”: Ambitious TV does not have to be boring. Interview with Anna … – Virtual Poland

I thought that you have to give credit of trust to the new President. Besides, what he said Jacek Kurski during the first meeting with employees TVP, presenting his concept of television is simply consistent with our views and needs – he says in an interview with “The Things” Anna Popek, journalist TVP.
 

Maciej Pieczyński: You write that “the task of a journalist is to search for interesting people and events, talking about them in a fascinating way.” How this principle implemented in your previous television, and how it will look like now?

Anna Popek: In the “Pytanie breakfast” talk to a lot of really fascinating
 topics. Of course, some of them are simple, some may seem trivial, but usually we are looking for those that are useful to the viewer. In 90 percent. cases, selection of topics is the invention of the publisher. This is what I can do I, as a guide, how best to present their guest. First – if it is with us for the first time – get used to it
 the situation of a television studio, to make him feel good to be a natural
 and I said what is best to say. If it is flustered, I must go
 open, if it is talkative, I have to somehow control over his temper.
 It’s a challenge. Creativity more while I demonstrate during
 conducting the Festival of Roma in Ciechocinek and Culture Festival Borderland
 in Mrągowo. Two great events of unusual climate and energy.
 

could use a new public television a program about the culture of the borderlands?
 

Usually, the relationship of the concerts of the Festival of Borderland Culture were a very good audience, and I think that a large part of the audience still eager to be watched. Mrągowa to come every year fixed groups from across the Polish, to sing together. My family comes from the borderlands, from the area of ​​Lviv. Several times I was there, made a documentary about stanisławów. If someone has a borderland roots, it can not but feel sentiment
 these areas. The curriculum of every middle school and high school should be a trip to Lviv and Vilnius, not just to explore the sights, but also to know the origins of the Polish mentality, the pulse of our history.
 

This is what would be the program of the borderlands by Anna Popek?

First of all, you have to go there to see, talk. I wish from such a program, in addition to emotion and sentimental longing, the viewer was also specific information about how now lives there our compatriots fun doing active
 young Poles in the borderlands of what we can learn from them. Coming back to a safe
 the area of ​​culture, worth promoting artists such as eg. a team of Old New Vilnius, which his great interpretations of folk rock hits proves that modern
 folk is a great entertainment.
 

What do you have more ideas for permanent programs on TV?
 

Soon I will adopt the dog as a participant of the program “Adopt the me.” Holiday in turn, prepares travel program, where I help people meet their travel
 dreams. For years, I dream of implementing a project, which I tried to interest my bosses. I am fascinated by the elderly, 80-, 90-year-old, who survived long, turbulent, adventurous life. And it’s not only reminiscent program. I wonder what made
 that survived. What trait of character that their behavior had saved their lives in extreme situations, when there was no hope? What made you able to survive the extreme situation, to survive the war, etc.? I know many such people. Their stories opowiedziałabym so that
 the viewer, instead of or in addition to emotions, he pulled out the practical knowledge, some wisdom. Among these people are familiar doctor, whose mother, Stanislaw Leszczynska, was a midwife in Auschwitz. Dr. Mengele ordered her to kill newborns. She could either drown them,
 or throw rats. She had to use all his intelligence and sensitivity to deny him, and at the same time save his own life. She knew that her successor simply execute the command. That is why Dr. Mengele said that too respects the dignity of the German doctor, the Hippocratic oath, which consisted of his work ethic to his hands
 simple midwife destroy it, in what he believes. Apparently, he lowered his eyes and let her do as she wanted. These children later usually die of starvation, but a few dozen survived.
 

What next for “The question for breakfast”?
 

It’s a good program, well-liked by the audience. likely to remain
 in its current form, although the director Maciej Chmiel is planning some minor adjustments. Program Breakfast will probably be more than previously saturated with educational and cultural content.
 

So, lifestyle, according essentially on the public media announcements, the new government will be more ambitious?
 

I do not see obstacles. Lifestyle may be too ambitious, if the topic approached wisely. Showing revision dresses for Ball Journalist may be instructive, if instead of a short and subjective assessment of “pretty ugly,” “like, not like” let the viewer, they are now fashion trends, which the dress looks good,
 and what is the example. too short and, say, inappropriate for the occasion. then there is
 added value. I think you need to talk more about the rules, about the rules prevailing
 in fashion, assessed in terms of appropriateness, compliance with the canon, not just individual taste. Instead of promoting only the young fashion blogger, you can invite TV also people who really know fashion. I think, among other things about Joanna Bojańczyk, which is a prominent specialist in the field. I’m not talking about the Cultural Revolution, because it can not be too offended to reality, ignoring popular
 phenomenon just because they are nieambitne, but should show also sometimes wider
 context. Fashion, after all depends not only on the whim rozchwytywanej stylist,
 but also, eg. from economic factors such as the price of cotton and polyester
 the global market.
 

How did the famous briefing Jacek Kurski?
 

I was just at work and received a phone call asking me to appear at the conference. I work in television for 20 years, so I somehow associate with her. I agreed. I thought, too, that you have to give credit of trust to the new President. Besides, what he said Jacek Kurski during the first
 meetings with employees TVP, presenting his concept of television is simply consistent with our views and needs. It’s all about the restoration of television production for television. Over the years, TV studios were empty, because the production was outsourced. In addition, the talon was a lot of cabarets, serials,
 entertainment and journalism can be practiced in the enclave of breakfast television. And nowhere more. And if public television journalist wants to realize, it’s not may take simultaneous co-operation with a commercial station. Therefore, I tried to vent their journalistic energy in the press. I wrote articles on the blog
 Onet, the student magazine “Concept”. I wrote the text for the weekly
 “The things” about the customs and culture of food and had to have on your
 magazine became a series of cultural and socially – historical. Could not get permission
 my boss for such cooperation.
 

After a briefing with the new president of TVP became Mrs. object of attacks from the environment
 antypisowskich. Media hostile powers invoked the indignation of journalists who
 allegedly they claim that “betrayed” Mrs. dismissed colleagues. Meanwhile, fell just one
 Name: Karolina Korwin-Piotrowska. How was it really? How many colleagues offended at you?

 

From the colleagues from TVP not met with any direct personal
 attack. On the contrary – I received a few phone calls and text messages with words
 support. Some would call and say, “Remember, Anne, I’m the first to you
 I called with congratulations. “But certainly not all voices reached me, and I also did not try to forcibly find out what people think about it. Geography sympathy to me somewhat changed, of course. But I am the same man who I was, and I address
 the same principles. People are able to quickly and cruelly judge. They see the mote in the eye of the neighbor, and not the beam in their own. Such is the nature of man. On the Internet insults on Facebook said Mrs. quote from Herbert: “If the subject
 art will be (…) small broken soul with great regret over them, what for us is, will the crying lovers in a small dirty hotel when świtają wallpaper “… I have always had the heart Herbert, like and appreciate his poetry, moreover, wrote of his thesis. This line I remembered when all ripped clothes, exalted the whole situation in the public media. I thought that our journalism is very An emotional and a little restraint in the choice of words we would in handy. There
 which has rashly judge things, before the case is not eventuates not
 We understand the motives.
 

You’ve been mentioned as a potential director of TV Polonia. She dropped any suggestion?
 

No, it’s a rumor.
 

will guide you the “I love you Polish?”
 

Nor. It is also a rumor. Tom will be leading Kammel, the way a journalist who never leaning with any political sympathies, which – in my opinion – is a confirmation that there will be such a politicized TVP, as it is painted. On the Ball Journalist
 Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska reportedly appealed for solidarity against journalists exemptions on public television. So, as I understand it, TVN journalists will slow down the work? Besides interesting that none of them lamented the former president of TVP got rid of journalists and flipped them to another company, ensuring that it is for their own good. Public television at his own request got rid of the shaft of their employees. Then somehow nobody
 not put up Rejtan. Experienced journalists have to undergo humiliating
 exams psychological agility-journalism.
 

And what now is the atmosphere?
 

The work culture has changed. Director Maciej Chmiel comes each morning to plan our program, greets asks you need, you can see that it is interested.
 He knows how to listen, it is open to suggestions.
 

What values ​​should promote national television?
 

We are not talking about himself, “national television”. We know that if we simply talk about values, it bored the audience will take up the remote and switch to another station. I think the need for programs such as “Express reporters,” whose success lies in the fact that it engages the audience in a case that presents. However, it is also a place for other suggestions.
 

We recommend the latest issue of “The Things”, which is already on newsstands.
