In college, he wrote satirical texts for a student standup comedy group Studencki Teatr Satyryków (STS).

There he met his wife, Agnieszka Osiecka, a Polish poet and lyricist.

Their daughter, Agata Passent, is also a journalist.

1959

Since 1959 he has been working for a Polish weekly Polityka.

1960

An article in a conservative Polish newspaper Dziennik, claimed that Passent worked in the 1960s as a spy for the communist government under the code names "Daniel" and "John".

1972

In addition to his articles and columns, Passent wrote several books, among others about the Vietnam War, the Olympic Summer Games 1972 in Munich, about the drug problem in the US, and about the world class Polish tennis player, Wojciech Fibak.

He also translated books and other texts by James Baldwin and Martin Luther King Jr. into Polish.

From 1990 to 1997 he was a journalist in Boston for a Spanish monthly magazine El Diario Mundial.

2016

Credence to these claims was lent by the Gen. Kiszczak files (released by Kiszczak's widow in 2016) in which Passent shows his true loyalty to the Communist cause (just after Fr. Popiełuszko's murder by the state in 1984) by denouncing the patriotic opposition and suggesting tactics to Kiszczak.

Passent asked an independent court to review such claims through a procedure called lustration; this request was denied as Poland's lustration law applies only to people holding (or running for) a public office.
