Abstract:

The discussion on the recently adopted European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) divided the EU institutions, Member States, and publishers. Controversies include whether there even is a need for the new law and the possibility for the authorities to wiretap journalists and remove content from online platforms. Although the EMFA contains guarantees for media independence, such as those related to the transparency of their funding, its effectiveness is undermined by leaving a wide margin of discretion to EU states on such issues as the concentration of media companies.
