European regulators emphasise the need for media independence

On 11 January 2016, ERGA (the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services) published a statement in which the regulators call on all European Union Member States to safeguard media independence in Europe. The statement comes in the wake of recent developments in Poland, where the government has adopted a number of measures targeting public service media.
