- It will also ensure that any funding provided to public service media is “adequate and stable,” and will roll out new regulations for state advertising in media.
- Besides monitoring how national regulatory decisions affect the overall European media landscape, a key task of this board will be to tackle disinformation by ensuring information on online media paltforms, in line with the EU code of practice on disinformation.
