For the seventh time, Josef Seethaler and Maren Beaufort, joined by Andreas Schulz-Tomanćok, have authored the Austrian report of the EU-funded Media Pluralism Monitor on behalf of the European University Institute, Florence. The Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM) is a key source of information for the European Commission, which relies on the findings to draw up its yearly Rule of Law Report. The MPM has been developed by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom at the European University Institute to assess the potential weaknesses in national media systems that may hinder media pluralism. Based on 20 indicators, summarizing 200 variables, it covers four areas: fundamental protection, market plurality, political independence, and social inclusiveness.
