The Jan Raczyński Media Award is presented to journalists and editorial teams for the best publications on rail transport. This distinction supports the reliable promotion and dissemination of knowledge about the railway industry in Poland. Nominations for the award may be submitted by, among others, print, online, radio and television media.

A long-standing member of the TRAKO Programme Council, he passed away unexpectedly in 2020. In 1996 he founded and continuously ran one of the most important trade periodicals - Technika Transportu Szynowego, known as TTS , a magazine created for the industry and with the industry.

The multitude of projects he was involved in makes it possible to call Jan Raczyński an exceptional individual deserving special recognition. Taking the above into account, the TRAKO Programme Council decided to establish a media award named after editor Jan Raczyński, presented to media that support rail transport.

During this year's third edition, the media competition aims in particular to promote journalists (personal award) and material that stands out for its reliability and in-depth substantive content. Winners of previous editions are involved in promoting and developing the competition.

The competition runs from 7 April to 30 June 2025. Winners will be selected by public vote, based on submitted surveys or a jury assessment of the material. Details can be found in the rules.

Journalism and transport are my two passions. I have been writing about railways and other segments of the transport and logistics industry for over two decades. My interest in rail transport was instilled in me by my grandfather, who worked as a train driver for many years. I know the railway both professionally and privately. I use it to commute to work, and when travelling on business and for leisure.

I am delighted that industry entrepreneurs and experts appreciated my commitment to writing articles on railway topics, voting for me as the first winner of the Jan Raczyński Media Award. This is a great honour.

In private life I am the mother of a 15-year-old daughter, Natalia. My family and I love travelling, mountain hiking and listening to music together.
