The report featured on this page highlights a worrying trend in press freedom across the European Union. According to Eva Simon, Head of Tech & Rights Program at Liberties, media landscapes within 22 EU member states are becoming increasingly concentrated, with less transparency and diminishing public trust. These developments are seen as part of a wider democratic decline, where the independence and diversity of the press are closely linked to the strength of democratic institutions, political accountability, and adherence to the rule of law.
