Liberties’ Media Freedom Report 2025: Deepening Crisis In Media Freedom Across the EU Puts Democracy At Risk -publication
29 april 2025
Media freedom is crumbling across the EU, according to Liberties’ Media Freedom Report 2025, a collaboration of more than 40 human rights organisations from across the EU.
In 2024, many governments influenced the media by allocating state funding to government-friendly outlets and using public service media for their communication tools; journalists faced widespread threats and violence, with female journalists targeted the most, and were denied requests for information by public officials; and weak media ownership transparency resulted in concentrated media ownership, Liberties Media Freedom Report 2025 (Report) finds. This Report is the fourth annual report on media freedom in the European Union (EU) produced by the Civil Liberties Union for Europe (Liberties). It is based on data and input from 43 member and partner organisations from 21 EU Member States. As in previous editions, this Report covers four primary areas: media freedom and pluralism, safety and protection of journalists, freedom of expression and access to information, and European legislation related to media freedom and pluralism.
