To address these challenges, the EU has created the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), a groundbreaking regulation designed to protect media independence, support pluralism, and adapt to the realities of the digital age.
Although the regulation was formally adopted in 2024, its core provisions apply from 8 August 2025 across all Member States. This marks the start of a unified legal framework that strengthens the position of journalists, guarantees editorial autonomy, and introduces safeguards against both political interference and online censorship. The EMFA also brings new tools for transparency, innovation, and cooperation, aiming to ensure that every European citizen can access diverse, reliable information sources.
