In late July 2026 psychologist and media commentator Andrzej Komorowski died at 75, prompting tributes for his work in family therapy, popular‑science writing and radio broadcasting. A week later, on 4 August 2026, veteran TVN24 journalist Andrzej Morozowski died at 69 after a prolonged battle with cancer. Morozowski, a founding figure of TVN24 who joined at its launch in 2001, hosted flagship programmes such as “Tak jest” and the investigative public‑affairs show “Teraz my!”, as well as “Studio 24”, “Kuluary” and “Skaner polityczny”. He was known for the 2006 hidden‑camera exposé that sparked a political controversy, and received awards including the Grand Press, the Andrzej Woyciechowski Radio Award and a Telekamera. TVN24 marked his death with a special tribute before the next edition of “Tak jest”, showing archival footage, a minute of silence and an empty chair in the studio. Colleagues including Tomasz Sianecki, Monika Olejnik, Anita Werner and Piotr Marciniak expressed sorrow, describing him as a respected journalist and a dear friend.
