OSI contribution to the Council of Europe Group of Specialists on Media Diversity (MC-S-MD)

In March 2006, the Open Society Institute EUMAP and Media programmes submitted a position paper to the Group of Specialists on Media Diversity (MC-S-MD).

This Group of Specialists was established by the Council of Europe in 2005 to monitor the development of media concentration in Europe. It examines its impact on freedom of expression and information, cultural diversity and media pluralism, and is to update Recommendations No. R (94) 13 on measures to promote media transparency and No. R (99) 1 on measures to promote media pluralism, if necessary.

The Group also monitors the implementation of Recommendation (2003) 9 on measures to promote the democratic and social contribution of digital broadcasting.

The Open Society Institute (OSI) contribution is mainly based on the findings and recommendations included in the series of OSI monitoring reports, Television across Europe: regulation, policy and independence, which covers 20 European countries.

The contribution is divided in three parts:
