Historical evolution of legislative regulation of the media in the west

Keywords: media, legislative regulation, Western Europe, Media Law, censorship.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the legal regulation of the media in Western countries. The study is based on universal scientific methods, such as observation, deduction, analysis, comparative and historical historical analysis of different legislatures and the practices of their implementation. The countries chosen for the analysis are the so-called "old Europe" countries. The study concludes that the legal regulation of the media is a complex issue that must be addressed with a holistic approach. The law is important, but it is not enough to guarantee freedom of expression and information pluralism. There is also a need for effective law enforcement and media monitoring systems.
