Broadcasting in the European Union:The Role of Public Interest in Competition Analysis

This book explores whether and to what extent EC Competition law promotes media pluralism and how broadcasting's public service and commercial interests can be reconciled in Europe, where public and economic competition have traditionally been defined as distinct concepts. It offers the first comprehensive application of competition analysis to European broadcasting and is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the challenges facing European broadcasters as they seek to redefine their role in an open market while at the same time retaining their public interest function.
