Television across Europe: Regulation, Policy and Independence (2005) - Reports, press releases, media coverage
New monitoring project -- TV across Europe: Follow-up Reports 2008New EUMAP/NMP monitoring of television regulation, policy and independence updates nine country reports: See www.mediapolicy.org. Read more about the reports on Albania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Italy, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, as well as Bulgaria . Television across Europe: Regulation, Policy and Independence (2005)The pivotal role of television in supporting democracy in Europe is under threat. Public service broadcasters are compromising quality to compete with commercial channels, and many of them depend on Governments or political parties. Meanwhile, ever-larger concentrations are developing in the commercial sector, often with clear political affiliations. These developments jeopardise broadcasting pluralism and diversity, with the new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe most at risk. These are the main findings of the monitoring report Television across Europe: regulation, policy and independence, released on 11 October 2005 in Brussels. The report covers 20 European countries - EU members, candidates and potential candidates - from the UK to Turkey, and from Romania to France. At 1662 pages, it is the largest ever comparative survey of its kind. The report analyses broadcasting across the continent and addresses policy recommendations to national and international authorities and groups. The monitoring has been carried out in cooperation with the Media Program of the Open Society Institute and in collaboration with national expert reporters and partner organisations in each country.

The Summary and entire report (Volume 1, 2 and 3) are also available on this soros.org page. Translations of country reports, country pages and followup projectFor each of the countries covered in the monitoring, the country report as well as the European overview report has been translated into the national language(s). The summary report was also translated into Russian. Where possible, whenever a translated report was available, the report on that country was presented at a national launch event. Country reports and press releases are also grouped together by country, with other relevant info from these pages, on respective country pages. In some cases (Poland, Czech Republic) these country pages also feature responses to the reports.
