Boris P. Paal looks into the scope of competition law in guaranteeing a diversity of opinions and media. His study is associated with a broader context, including the increasingly relevant safeguarding of media diversity on both a national and a European level as an elementary prerequisite for freedom of speech in democratic societies. Using an interdisciplinary analysis, the author questions whether and to what extent the self-monitoring powers of the competitive procedure of selection and discovery can be used effectively to safeguard media diversity. He analyzes the actual legal framework and the existing regulations of competition law in order to conclude his work with concrete suggestions on the further development of the legal situation and of the application of the law.
