Deregulation effectively removes governmental barriers to allow for the commercial exploitation of media. Motivation for media firms to merge includes increased profit-margins, reduced risk and maintaining a competitive edge.

The ultimate consequence of consolidation, critics argue, is a poorly informed public, restricted to a reduced array of media options that offer only information that does not harm the media oligopoly's growing range of interests.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-13">[13]</a> For those critics, media deregulation is a dangerous trend, facilitating an increase in concentration of media ownership, and subsequently reducing the overall quality and diversity of information communicated through major media channels.

Furthermore, media pluralism has a two-fold dimension, or rather internal and external. Internal pluralism concerns pluralism within a specific media organisation: in this regard, many countries request public broadcast services to account for a variety of views and opinions, including those of minority groups. External pluralism applies instead to the overall media landscape, for instance in terms of the number of media outlets operating in a given country.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ec.europa.eu-16">[16]</a> Media ownership can pose serious challenges to pluralism when owners interfere with journalists' independence and editorial line. However, in a free market economy, owners must have the capacity to decide the strategy of their company to remain competitive in the market. Also, pluralism does not mean neutrality and lack of opinion, as having an editorial line is an integral part of the role of editors provided that this line is transparent and explicit to both the staff and audience.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-ec.europa.eu-16">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Determinants_of_media_pluralism">Determinants of media pluralism</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Concentration_of_media_ownership&action=edit&section=8&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Determinants of media pluralism" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"> <h4 id="Size_and_wealth_of_the_market">Size and wealth of the market</h4> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Concentration_of_media_ownership&action=edit&section=9&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Size and wealth of the market" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> "Within any free market economy, the level of resources available for the provision of media will be constrained principally by the size and wealth of that economy, and the propensity of its inhabitants to consume media." [Gillian Doyle; 2002:15] Those countries that have a relatively large market, like the United Kingdom, France or Spain have more financial background to support diversity of output and have the ability to keep more media companies in the market (as they are there to make profit). More diverse output and fragmented ownership will support <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Pluralism_(political_theory)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Pluralism (political theory)">pluralism</a>. In contrast, small markets like Ireland or Hungary suffer from the absence of the diversity of output given in countries with bigger markets. It means that "support for the media through direct payment" and "levels of consumers expenditure", furthermore "the availability of advertising support" [Gillian Doyle; 2002:15] are less in these countries, due to the low number of audience. Overall, the size and wealth of the market determine the diversity of both media output and media ownership. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"> <h4 id="Consolidation_of_resources">Consolidation of resources</h4> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Concentration_of_media_ownership&action=edit&section=10&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Consolidation of resources" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Consolidation_(business)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Consolidation (business)">consolidation</a> of cost functions and cost-sharing. Cost-sharing is a common practice in monomedia and cross media. For example, "for multi-product television or radio broadcasters, the more homogeneity possible between different services held in common ownership (or the more elements within a programme schedule which can be shared between 'different' stations), the greater the opportunity to reap economies".<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Though the main concern of pluralism is that different organization under different ownership may buy the same e.g. news stories from the same news-supplier agency. In the UK, the biggest news-supplier is The Press Association (PA). Here is a quoted text from PA web site: "The Press Association supplies services to every national and regional daily newspaper, major broadcasters, online publishers and a wide range of commercial organisations." Overall, in a system where all different media organizations gather their stories from the same source, we can't really call that system pluralist. That is where diversity of output comes in.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-18">[18]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Pluralism_in_media_ownership">Pluralism in media ownership</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Concentration_of_media_ownership&action=edit&section=11&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Pluralism in media ownership" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:ASBU.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/ASBU.jpg/220px-ASBU.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2816" data-file-height="2112"> </noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/ASBU.jpg/220px-ASBU.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/ASBU.jpg/330px-ASBU.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/ASBU.jpg/440px-ASBU.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a> <figcaption> Arab States Broadcasting Union building in <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tunis?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Tunis">Tunis</a> </figcaption> </figure> Media privatization and the lessening of state dominance over media content has continued since 2012.

Even if Member states do not publicly challenge the need for common regulation on media concentration, they push to incorporate their own regulatory approach at the EU level and are reluctant to give the European Union their regulatory power on the issue of media concentration.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> The Council of Europe's initiative promoting media pluralism and curbing media concentration dates back to the mid-1970s. Several resolutions, recommendations, declarations by the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers and studies by experts' groups have addressed the issue since then.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> The council's approach has been mainly addressed at defining and protecting media pluralism, defined in terms of pluralism of media content in order to allow a plurality of ideas and opinions.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> Within the European Union, two main standpoints have emerged in the debate: on the one hand, the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/European_Parliament?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="European Parliament">European Parliament</a> has favoured the idea that, considering the crucial role that media play in the functioning of democratic systems, policies in this field should prevent excessive concentration in order to guarantee pluralism and diversity. On the other hand, the European Commission has privileged the understanding that the media sector should be regulated, as any other economic field, following the principles of market harmonization and liberalization.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Harcourt-52">[52]</a> Indeed, media concentration issues can be addressed both by general competition policies and by specific media sector rules. According to some scholars, given the vital importance of contemporary media, sector-specific competition rules in the media industries should be enhanced.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> Within the EU, the Council regulation 4064/89/EEC on the control of concentrations between undertakings as part of European competition legislation covered also media concentration cases.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> The need for sector-specific regulation has been widely supported by both media scholars and the European Parliament. In the 1980s, when preparing legislation on cross-border television many experts and MEPs argued for including provisions for media concentration in the EU directive but these efforts failed.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> In 1992, the Commission of the European Communities published a policy document named "Pluralism and Media Concentration in the internal Market – an assessment of the need for Community action" which outlined three options on the issue of media concentration regulation at the Community level, i.e. no specific action to be taken; action regulating transparency; and action to harmonize laws. Out of these options, the first one was chosen but the debate on this decision lasted for years.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> Council regulation as a tool for regulating media concentration was excluded and the two proposals on a media concentration directive advanced in the mid 1990s were not backed by the commission. As a consequence, efforts at legislating media concentration at Community level were phased out by the end of the 1990s.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> Despite a wide consensus over the idea that the vital importance of contemporary media justifies to regulate media concentration through sector-specific concentration rules going beyond the general competition policy, the need for sector specific regulation has been challenged in recent years due to the peculiar evolution of the media industry in the digital environment and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Media_convergence?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Media convergence">media convergence</a>. In practice, sector-specific media concentration rules have been abolished in some European countries in recent years.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> As a consequence, scholars Harcourt and Picard argue that "the trend has been to remove ownership rules and restrictions on media ownership within Europe in order that 'domestic champions' can bulk up to 'fend off' the US threat. This has been a key argument for the loosening of ownership rules within Europe."<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Harcourt1-55">[55]</a> In 2002, the European Parliament tried to revitalize the efforts on regulating media concentration at the European level and adopted a resolution on media concentration which called on the European Commission to launch a broad and comprehensive consultation on media pluralism and media concentration and to prepare a Green Paper on the issue by the end of 2003. The European Commission failed to meet this deadline.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> In the following years, during the process of amending the Televisions Without Frontiers directive, which was adopted by the EP and the Council in 2007, the issue of media concentration was discussed, but it did not represent the core of the debate.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> In 2003, the European Commission issued a policy document named "The future of European Regulatory Audiovisual Policy" which stressed that, in order to ensure media pluralism, measures should aim at limiting the level of media concentration by establishing "maximum holdings in media companies and prevent[ing] cumulative control or participation in several media companies at the same time".<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Galik-53">[53]</a> In 2007, reacting to concerns on media concentration and its repercussion on pluralism and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Freedom_of_expression?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Freedom of expression">freedom of expression</a> in the EU member states raised by the European Parliament and by NGOs, the European Commission launched a new three-phase plan on media pluralism<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Pisan16082010-54">[54]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-56">[56]</a><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-57">[57]</a> In October 2009, a <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Directive (European Union)">European Union Directive</a> was proposed to set for all member states common and higher standards for <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Media_pluralism?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Media pluralism">media pluralism</a> and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Freedom_of_expression?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Freedom of expression">freedom of expression</a>.
