The European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) introduced important safeguards for media freedom and pluralism across the EU. Now that the regulation is fully applicable, the central challenge lies in its effective and consistent implementation across Member States.

The Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM) 2026 offers a timely and holistic assessment of the EU media landscape, mapping the pressures it faces from geopolitical instability, economic concentration, and technological disruption. At the MPM 2026 Final Conference, the CMPF team and country researchers will together examine the MPM results to understand where pluralism stands in an increasingly complex informational environment.

Join us for the conference as we:

·        Present key findings of the MPM 2026 results, reflecting on the evolving regulatory framework and the complexity of the current information environment

·        Discuss and compare results across Member States, with a focus on countries facing particular risks for media pluralism

·        Assess early evidence of EMFA's impact and the challenges of its implementation across Member States
