The paper presents the main elements of the Regulation establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market and amending Directive 2010/13 (European Media Freedom Act). The Regulation aims to protect media freedom, media pluralism, and editorial independence in the European Union (EU). The European Media Freedom Act establishes a common framework for media services in the EU\'s internal market. It also introduces measures aimed at protecting journalists and media service providers from political interference while facilitating work across internal EU borders. The new rules guarantee the right of citizens to access free and diverse information and define the responsibility of the member states in terms of ensuring the appropriate conditions and framework for their protection.
