Abstract (in inglese)
Information pluralism helps in making the State the best form of democracy. Anyway, the landscape of media has experienced a significant change, presenting challenges to the safeguarding of freedom of information. The merging of traditional and digital media, the disintermediation of editorial processes, and the rise of algorithmic personalization of content have transformed the marketplace of ideas and access to information.
In this scenario, the traditional distinction between internal and external pluralism calls for reflection on constitutional protections and the most appropriate forms of public intervention, especially in relation to public service broadcasting and the growing role of digital platforms.
The essay examines how informational pluralism has evolved in Italy, taking into account constitutional jurisprudence. It also links the domestic regulations adopted lately by European Media Freedom Act (Regulation EU 2024/1083).
