Abstract: There is a tremendous amount of media freedom problems in the world, and there is also a certain time travel backwards in many parts of the world. It is not only true in the new democracies, where we see a stubborn monopoly especially of television, which is not getting dissolved and it is even being cemented. We see the spreading pattern of administrative discrimination against the fragile independent print press, as it already exists in most of these new democracies which nevertheless favour the still existing state-owned press.There are brand new challenges to media freedom. One of them is the post-cartoon controversy in Europe. Is that pressure dissolving or is it enhancing under our watch, and what can be done about it?
