BLOG | Rádiový klid: Mediální zákony EU v maďarském kontextu
Evropská unie v posledních letech přijala zásadní legislativu, aby zajistila svobodu médií a nezávislost. Nicméně v určitých členských státech tyto snahy o stav mediálního pluralismu přišly příliš pozdě.

BLOG | European Media Freedom Act on the case of Slovenia: Has Slovenia overtaken the European Commission with its new law?

Slovenia is one of the most struggling EU countries in terms of media freedom and independence. In the summer of 2020, the Janša government proposed a media-focused law that would increase the state's influence over Slovenia's national press agency and limit its funding of the public broadcaster RTV. Has Slovenia's new law put the European Commission ahead of the game? That is what our intern Klára Landová discusses in her blog.
