Media ownership in CEE: a brief look at trends and challenges Dr. Václav Štětka Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism, Charles University in Prague Presentation for the conference “Media and journalism in South East Europe – Captured by particular interests or turning to serve the public?” Tirana, June 2014

Media and Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe ( ) 10 new EU post-communist member states Focusing at news media: broadcast, print, online Investigating the relationship between quality of democracy and quality of media in countries of CEE Methodology: – semi-structured elite and expert interviews (over 300) – document and secondary data analysis – data modelling

Main trends in media ownership in CEE Diminishing presence of Western ownership, following the 2008/09 economic crisis – Wave of departures of foreign owners from most CEE markets; “de-Westernization of media ownership” Rise of specific type of media ownership – local business tycoon / oligarch investing into news media – Increasing intertwinement of media, business and politics; media becoming less autonomous – Czech Republic: Andrej Babiš – businessman, billionaire -> since 2011 leader of new political party –> since 2013 media mogul -> since 2013 Deputy Prime Minister Growing practices of instrumentalization of media by the (new) owners to promote their business/political interests Commercial media weakened by the crisis, by declining readership, by audience/market fragmentation

Western-style media business model is becoming an exception rather than a rule in most CEE countries; media investment as a political strategy (not for business/profit) – Transition from seeking profit to seeking influence Old commercial models are failing; new ones have not been found yet Challenge: ensuring sustainability & independence of quality journalism Quality/investigative journalism often forced to seek refuge outside of the scope of market economy – Public service media (wherever still relevant) – Foundation- or community-based online outlets Hope: the audience?!

Thank you!
