Conclusions. 000027041 520__ $$aAlthough there appears to be no firm legal basis in the Treaties for EU legislative action aimed specifically at protecting media pluralism, this book opens a number of promising avenues along which a viable legal regime protecting media pluralism may be achieved in the EU. With particular focus on broadcasting, the book examines existing (albeit fragmented) legislative and regulatory measures in competition law and other areas that contribute to this goal, and sets forth ways to strengthen monitoring and transparency, generate ‘soft law with hard statements’, introduce a ‘pluralism test’ in the EU Merger Regulation, promote more public service media, and foster media literacy. Among many other issues arising in the course of the discussion, the author describes and elucidates the following: various types of integration of media companies and the different ways they affect pluralism and diversity; limitations of must-carry rules and principles of interoperability; the diverging priorities of different European organizations, institutions and bodies; and contradictory lobbying efforts from industry actors. The author places herself on the culture side of the culture/commodity dilemma, showing why it is vital for regulators to preserve media pluralism by counteracting excessive media concentration and safeguarding quality and diversity of content. In this era which is transforming media and communications industries worldwide, with an ever-increasing plethora of delivery means without respect to national borders, this book is an essential resource for regulators and other concerned policymakers, as well as for lawyers working with any aspect of media. 000027041 650_0 $$aCultural pluralism$$zEuropean Union countries 000027041 650_0 $$aMass media$$xLaw and legislation$$zEuropean Union countries 000027041 650_4 $$aCultural pluralism 000027041 650_4 $$aLaw and legislation 000027041 650_6 $$aMédias$$xDroit$$zPays de l'Union européenne 000027041 650_6 $$aDiversité culturelle$$zPays de l'Union européenne 000027041 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation 000027041 85641 $$uhttp://www.kluweriplaw.com/book-toc?title=Media%20Pluralism%20and%20European%20Law$$yView this resource 000027041 903__ $$aInformation Law Series 000027041 904__ $$aBook 000027041 942__ $$cMON$$jN 43 KOM.M 000027041 952__ $$w2013-03-01$$p2013-0094$$r76.00$$u41519$$bMAIN$$10$$kN 43 KOM.M$$v2013-03-01$$zTagged$$71 000027041 980__ $$aBIB 000027041 999__ $$c29445$$d29445
