Questo articolo esamina l'evoluzione del discorso politico e delle pratiche relative al pluralismo dei media all'interno dell’Unione europea (Ue) alla luce dello European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), che impone agli Stati membri di valutare l’impatto delle concentrazioni nel mercato dei media sul pluralismo dei media. Attraverso l’analisi di testi legislativi e politici chiave dell'Ue, l’articolo esplora come viene affrontata la concentrazione mediatica, con particolare attenzione a due Stati membri più piccoli (Croazia e Slovenia), dove leggi obsolete e la mancanza di dati per valutare il pluralismo dei media rappresentano sfide significative. I risultati evidenziano le difficoltà nel garantire un’attuazione efficace e armonizzata delle disposizioni dell’EMFA in tutta l’Ue, specialmente di fronte alla crescente posizione dominante delle piattaforme digitali nella distribuzione dei contenuti e nel discorso pubblico. L’articolo sostiene che, senza orientamenti chiari e completi, e sforzi coordinati per garantire un’applicazione uniforme tra gli Stati membri, la regolamentazione potrebbe non riuscire a contrastare efficacemente i rischi per il pluralismo dei media, in particolare in un ambiente digitale in rapida evoluzione.
