insufficient shielding of public service media from possible political pressures
absence of independent audits of financial management of public service media
lack of binding rules that would prevent media owners from influencing media content (including journalists’ self-censorship)
ineffective regulatory oversight of media market and outdated media legislation that does not reflect new media
the gradual disappearance of independent regional media
the threat to economies of traditional media by digital giants
a low level of professional cooperation; in other words the unwillingness of most journalists to participate in the creation of self-regulatory solutions and a functioning media council
large impact of disinformation purposefully disseminated through social networks and websites that do not respect journalistic and publishing ethics
