COMMUNISM'S NEGOTIATED COLLAPSE:
THE POLISH ROUND TABLE TALKS OF 1989,
TEN YEARS LATER
A Conference at the University of Michigan, April 7-10, 1999

Broadcast journalist Janina Jankowska chaired the Solidarity delegation on the sub-table for public radio and television during the Round Table negotiations. After graduating from the University of Warsaw in Polish philology, Jankowska worked until 1982 for the Radio and Television Commission. In August 1980, Jankowska covered events at the Gdansk shipyards, becoming a member of the Editorial Board for Solidarity Broadcasting Programs. Interned under martial law in early 1982, she went on to produce radio documentaries for clandestine distribution on audiocassettes, which led to her imprisonment in 1984. Jankowska was responsible for the opposition's radio and television campaigns in the 1989 elections. She has worked as a broadcast journalist in Poland since 1990 and has chaired the Program Council of Polish Radio since 1993.
