Observatory on the European Media Freedom Act

A repository of insights and expertise on the new EU regulation

As part of the Media Pluralism Monitor project, the Observatory offers independent scholarly analysis and facilitates discussions on this crucial legislation, its implementation, and enforcement. Established in 2022, the Observatory closely monitors the legislative process of the EMFA, engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders and cultivating a comprehensive network of media regulation experts from academia, civil society, industry, and governmental bodies.

By providing detailed accounts of the debates among media professionals and experts, the Observatory offers valuable perspectives on the ongoing implementation process. The project generates regular analyses on the EMFA and related developments through various formats, including policy reports, academic articles, blog posts, and hosts events such as expert workshops, panel discussions, and conferences. These activities aim to foster informed discourse and collaborative solutions to enhance the effectiveness of media regulation within the European Union.
