Stresses the need for greater
understanding of the role of intermediaries and their responsibilities; considers
that market regulators can help preserve competition, but that it is also
necessary to explore new ways of engaging private actors in order to preserve
the public value of information; recognises that self-regulation can entail
specific risks where (democratic) oversight is lacking; Stresses the fact that
digital and (computer) data-driven platforms or services such as search engines
are privately owned and require transparency so as to preserve the public value
of information and prevent restrictions on access to information and freedom of
expression;

A
2020 Vision for the BBC, Gavyn Davies, former Chairman of the BBC
The tyranny of the audience figures is
one which is very hard to overcome, although successive generations of BBC
leaders have tried very hard to do this. In a 2010 report for Policy Exchange,
entitled “Changing the Channel”, Mark Oliver says the following:
“BBC
management obtain ratings on a daily basis, while monthly and weekly reach are
the focus of management resource allocation decisions. Worse still, BBC value
for money exercises often focus on cost per viewer or listener hour rather than
comparing cost with quality and distinctiveness delivered. This all tends to
make the BBC an organisation that tries to maximise reach first and
quality/distinctiveness second. It should, instead, be an organisation that
seeks to maximise quality and distinctiveness, subject to a certain realistic
minimum requirement for reach and share of overall consumption.”

Rundfunk (ORF)
High
Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism
（競争法活用）
European and national competition
authorities should take into account the specific value of media pluralism in
the enforcement of competition rules. They should also take into account the
increasing merging of different channels of communication and media access in
the definition of the relevant markets. In addition, the High Level Group calls
upon the European and national competition authorities to monitor with
particular attention, under competition policy, new developments in the online
access to information. The dominant position held by some network access
providers or internet information providers should not be allowed to restrict
media freedom and pluralism. An open and non-discriminatory access to
information by all citizens must be protected in the online sphere, if
necessary by making use of competition law and/or enforcing a principle of
network and net neutrality.
（“メディア”の範囲）
Concentration of ownership needs to be
considered not only with respect to specific media sources (such as press), but
across different media and in relation to distribution channels, whether for
traditional media (for example, newspaper kiosks) or for new media (for
example, broadband connectivity).
Digital intermediaries, such as search
engines, news aggregators, social networks and app stores should be included in
the monitoring of the sector. The increasingly important role they play in
either improving or restricting media pluralism should be considered,
especially as they start producing content. However, care must be taken to
distinguish between media that publish original work directly, and services
that allow users to republish or link to other peoples’ work.
