Media freedom ‘under sustained attack’ across EU as public trust drops, report finds

The findings of this report underscore a troubling trend in the EU where the safety of journalists and the diversity of media voices are increasingly compromised. The concentration of media ownership not only limits the variety of perspectives available to the public but also raises questions about accountability and transparency in journalism. As public trust in the media declines, it becomes imperative for policymakers to prioritize media freedom and protect the rights of journalists to ensure a healthy democratic discourse.
