The Media Freedom Report 2024 is the third
annual report on media freedom in the European Union (EU) produced by the Civil Liberties Union for Europe (Liberties). It is based
on data and input from Liberties’ member and
partner organisations and complements Liberties’ annual Rule of Law Report.
The Media Freedom Report discusses relevant
legislative and regulatory action at EU and
national level during 2023 and maps the main
trends and developments in media freedom
in 19 EU Member States, namely: Belgium,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden. This report also sets forth a list of recommendations to the EU institutions to improve
the media landscape in Europe and better
protect media freedom and pluralism across
the Union. As in previous editions, this report
covers three primary areas: media freedom and
pluralism, safety and protection of journalists,
and freedom of expression and information.
Additionally, this year’s report features a new
chapter dedicated to the European Media
Freedom Act – landmark legislation that has myriad implications for media freedom and
pluralism in the EU.
