We can access news wherever we are from a wide choice of sources and platforms. A vast range of different movies, TV and radio shows produced in Europe are now available to an increasingly wide audience.</p> <p>However, this era has brought with it new challenges. Disinformation spreads faster online than it ever did in the offline world, with potentially damaging consequences while journalists and media outlets face various obstacles in several countries. Media service providers may find their content unfairly removed by very large online platforms or not easily accessible in user interfaces. </p> <p>Over the past few years, the EU has stepped up its work in this field to address many of these challenges with actions such as: </p> <ul> <li>The updated <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/avmsd">Audiovisual Media Services
