A Bit of Truth.” - Bureaucratic ideals of journalism Lennartz, Jannis eng 2023-06-14 electronic resource text/html ddc:342 bureaucracy emfa european media freedom act Governance media law regulatory theory Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-SA 4.0 The extent of (private) media regulation depends on the willingness to trade private for public power. This blogpost takes the Commission's EMFA proposal as an opportunity to question the assumptions about media, markets, and politics behind it. It finds that the Commission’s approach treats private like public media: First, it functionalizes the fundamental rights of private individuals and companies in terms of their public benefit; second, it imagines the conditions of qualitative journalistic work as those of civil servants.
