The European Media Pluralism Monitor: Bridging Law, Economics and Media Studies as a First Step towards Risk-Based Regulation in Media Markets (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The European Media Pluralism Monitor aims to establish a standardized monitoring framework for media pluralism across the European Union, integrating legal, economic, and media studies perspectives. It addresses various dimensions of media pluralism, including ownership, cultural, political, and geographic factors, seeking to inform policy decisions by providing a comprehensive evidentiary basis. The paper discusses the historical context of EU media policy, emphasizing the tension between harmonization and subsidiarity, and advocates for a nuanced approach to regulation that respects national differences and complements the evolving media landscape.
