The International Press Institute (IPI) and the Media and Journalism Research Center (MJRC) today launch the third in a new series of Media Capture Monitoring Reports for 2025, this time putting the spotlight on Greece.
The report reviews developments regarding media capture in the Mediterranean country in 2025 and examines Greece’s compliance with the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) since the EU Commission’s regulation entered into full force in August.
It concludes that Greece has only taken limited steps towards aligning its legislation and practice with its provisions. While some legal frameworks already partially comply with EMFA requirements, core problems persist across regulation, public service media, and funding.
The report provides detailed recommendations on a variety of measures and policies necessary to address media capture in Greece and create a free, pluralistic and democratic media ecosystem, in line with EMFA provisions.
This report is part of a broader series covering seven other EU countries: Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain.
IPI and MJRC will also publish an overview report, summarising major developments across the EU in the past year. The next reports will be published over the following weeks.
These reports are intended as a vital resource for media rights organizations, civil society groups, policymakers, and advocates dedicated to monitoring and fostering media freedom across the EU.
