Right Of Access

Freedom of the press is one of the best ways of reflecting and shaping public opinion about the ideas and attitudes of political leaders, public figures or those entrusted with public functions. Freedom of the press is also an opportunity to depict reprehensible phenomena such as corruption, fraud, crime or nepotism. The press may be faced with types of subjects that may cause dilemmas for the journalist. Whose interest should above all be represented: the interest of the society or the state? What is more important: the right to privacy or the right of access to information?

Right Of Access

Openness of public life is a pillar of civil society development Openness of public authority is a key condition for the functioning of democracy in the state, it is a fundamental value of the rule of law and a multiplier of social control. The essence of the right to public information in the Polish legal system is the fact that it is regulated in the Basic Law. Establishing the right to public information on the pages of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland enabled the citizens to its direct application. According to Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the activities of public authorities in Poland are open and every citizen has the right of access to information. The concept of openness of public life and the right of access to information are understood as a citizen’s privilege to information on matters relating to the activities of government, the implementation of public tasks and the functioning of the state. Access to public information is also one of the forms of civic activity, which contributes to the development of democracy at both local and central level. In Poland, the continuation of the principle of openness and the right of access to public information, regulated by the Constitution, is provided for in the Act on Access to Public Information of 6 September 2001. The act defines what constitutes public information, distinguishes entities obliged to provide it and presents forms of providing access to and requesting public information. A review of Polish academic literature reveals a multitude of studies on openness of public life and access to public information. However, it also indicates the lack of exhaustive titles, constituting an analysis of this matter on the basis of the law of the Member States of the European Union. Therefore, the aim of this article, which has a source character, is to present the way of regulating access to public information, including both constitutional and statutory level. The starting point for the solutions in this study will be the contents of the constitutions of the Member States and the laws regulating access to public information in their current wording. The research will also include literature analysis. Due to the adopted concept, the subject of comparison will be selected issues that provide answers to the questions of whether access to public information has been regulated in the provisions of the constitution and how the notion of public information is defined in the law, as well as whether the statutory regulations constitute a development of the constitutional norms.

AbstractAccording to Tocqueville, the freedom of the press, which he treats as an extension of the freedom of speech, is a primary constituent element of liberty. Tocqueville treats the freedom of the press in relation to and as an extension of the right to assemble and govern one’s own affairs, both of which he argues are essential to preserving liberty in a free society. Although scholars acknowledge the importance of civil associations to liberty in Tocqueville’s political thought, they routinely ignore the importance he places on the freedom of the press and speech. His reflections on the importance of the free press and speech may help to shed light on the dangers of recent attempts to censor the press and speech.
