On 16 September 2022, the Commission published its Proposal for
a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council
establishing a common framework for media services in the internal
market (EU Media Freedom Act) and
amending Directive 2010/13/EU (the revised Audiovisual Media

rights for both recipients of media services and media providers,
and duties of media service providers, protection of editorial
independence transparent state advertising, protection of media
content online, and the framework for regulatory cooperation and
enforcement in the media internal market. From the ashes
