Policies on Media Freedom and Pluralism Pilot projects

The Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM) is a scientific tool designed to identify potential risks to media pluralism, based on a set of indicators developed through a European Commission-funded study published in 2009. Since 2016 it has been implemented in all EU Member States and select candidate countries.

The European Commission co-funds projects to promote media freedom, investigative journalism and defend journalists under threat.

Media freedom and pluralism are pillars of modern democracy as they are essential components of open and free debate.
