Relevant Recitals for this Article
In response to challenges to media pluralism and media freedom online, some Member States have taken regulatory measures and other Member States are likely to do so. That risks furthering the divergence in national approaches and restrictions to free movement in the internal market. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonise certain aspects of national rules related to media pluralism and editorial independence, thereby guaranteeing high standards in that area.
