Concerns about the dumbing down and politicisation of the media have begun to surface in the European Parliament.
The newly formed "media intergroup" met yesterday (Feb 2) to discuss, amongst other issues, the lack of independent reporting, and the closing down of many national and regional newspapers and journals.
MEPs and journalists vigorously debated the issues, in what promises to become one of the more controversial of the parliament's intergroups.
