Abstract
The European Democracy Action Plan, presented by the European Commission in December 2020, intends to empower citizens and make EU democracies more resilient. As part of this plan, it expects to enhance transparency in ownership and control of news media. The Euromedia Ownership Monitor (EurOMo) is a pilot project to fulfil this objective. In 2022, it published:
- a database with information on ownership and control of the most relevant news media in 15 EU countries;
- country reports that assess the level of transparency of this information;
- indices to comparatively assess transparency and risks across countries and indicators.
