"In addition to drawing on individual research conducted by the editors and contributors, experts in the field of policy making, regulation and political economy of the electronic communications sector, this valuable addition to the literature draws on findings of an important study for the European Commission on indicators for media pluralism and the development of a media pluralism monitor (MPM).
