The risk to media pluralism in the country is increasing – problems in the areas of Market Plurality, Political Independence and Social Inclusion are being systematically neglected.

Media pluralism is the ultimate goal of any media policy. What are the risks to media pluralism in the country and where does Macedonia stand, compared to other European countries? These questions are answered by the Media Pluralism Monitor in the Digital Age – one of the most relevant studies in the field of media policies, in which RESIS has participated for five years in a row.

In its new assessment of potential risks to media pluralism in the country in 2023, in addition to the chronic, previously identified problems in all media sectors, MPM2024 revealed further deteriorations. The risk has increased in three of the four areas of media pluralism, with a particular source of concern being the systemic neglect of problems in the areas of Market Pluralism and Social Inclusion. In the area of ​​Political Independence, serious symptoms have also been observed that indicate a likely deterioration in the future.

The main recommendation of MPM2024 is that the competent institutions should continue the media reform process that was only partially implemented in 2023, with the support of the European Union.

The findings of the assessment were presented by Dr. Snezana Trpevska from the RESIS Institute on 28 October 2024 – at the opening of the Media Literacy Days. The assessment was carried out as part of the Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM 2024) project, coordinated by the Center for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom in Florence, and supported by the European Union. The study is being conducted in a total of 32 member states and candidate countries for membership of the European Union.
