This project aims to update the existing databases and risk assessments of the pilot Euromedia Ownership Monitor as well as increase its media outlets database, including channels and accounts on Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) that are relevant for news use in each EU Member State (MS). At the end of this project, the following deliverables will be made available through a project website: (1) updated and expanded database of opinion-shaping media outlets in each MS, (2) updated database of national laws pertinent to media ownership transparency, (3) narrative country reports, (4) updated interactive graphics showing national media ownership structures and cross-country media activity, and (5) updated assessment of risks to transparency in ownership and control stemming from the ownership structure, managerial arrangements, economic conditions, relations with politicians and interest groups, distribution channels and regulatory framework of each country.
