This article explores the European approach to media ownership policy as one aspect of
the broader approach to media pluralism. It explores concerns and policy of the European
Parliament, European Commission, Council of Europe, and various member states and
how these are addressed in policy and legal measures. It then addresses how these
factors have influenced the development of the Media Pluralism Monitor prepared for the
European Commission.
