Assessing Media Pluralism in the Digital Age

The purpose of this paper is to discuss challenges of measuring media pluralism and freedom in the digital age. We do this while presenting the updates of Media Pluralism Monitor implemented by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom in three consecutive cycles (2014, 2015 and 2016). The paper explores methodological limitations and other pressing issues in regard to optimal assessment of risks to media pluralism in the digital environment.
