An action plan to support recovery and transformation in the news media sector
The Media Action Plan released by the European Commission in December 2020 is the first policy document that explicitly set out a vision and dedicated initiatives for the news media sector. This paper, requested by the CULT Committee of European Parlament, discusses the current situation of the sector and its revenue streams, the important impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the main public and private funding models to support the sector.
