MPM 2025 results
The Media Pluralism Monitor is a research project that assesses the health of media ecosystems in Europe, highlighting threats to media pluralism and media freedom in the 27 EU member states and four candidate countries (Albania, Serbia, the Republic of North Macedonia and Turkey). The Media Pluralism Monitor 2025 (MPM2025) is based on data from the year 2024. It represents the eight EU-wide implementation of the Media Pluralism Monitor project.
Methodology
This edition underwent significant transformations. First, the risk assessment was expanded from a three-tier system – low, medium, and high risk – to a six-tier system – from very low risk to very high risk. The adoption of the six-tier system aimed at providing a more granular assessment of the risks to media pluralism and freedom and at making subtil differences between countries more visible, while conserving a form of continuity with the previous implementations of the MPM. The report also included some insights on a selection of themes related to the European Media Freedom Act before its entry into full force in August 2025 and dedicated a chapter to the analysis of media pluralism and freedom in the EU candidate countries. This year, a total of 40 variables were modified or added out of 200. Therefore, the MPM results for 2025 are not strictly comparable with the results of previous editions.
Country reports
The MPM country reports provide an in-depth, comprehensive analysis on the risks for media pluralism in a given country. All country reports are available in English and most of them are also translated into the national language. Both the English version and the translations are downloadable on the report’s page:
