Jakub Ćwirlej

For twenty years I made reports for Polish public television (TVP). I specialise in investigative, public-interest reporting, above all on the environment: contamination, harmful emissions and illegal waste dumps whose cost falls on local communities.

I can produce a piece single-handed, from research to post-production, and work just as well in a crew. I use AI tools for transcription, research and verification, and design some of them myself. I am open to a permanent role with a newsroom and to freelance work.
