A European news streaming platform : study on European added value and governance

This study explores the feasibility of a European news streaming platform (ENSP), with a focus on its governance, legal implications and potential added value for media pluralism in Europe. Such a platform would, according to its proponents, provide access to news and public interest content by audiovisual media service providers across the EU, with automatically generated subtitles that make content available in all EU languages. Such an initiative is a clear response to the requirements highlighted in several EU communications and policy documents. If done properly, this platform has the potential to become an innovative tool to increase resilience in the information space. The insights derived from the report are used to propose policy options to improve citizens' access to quality information in their own languages.
