[CONFERENCE] Media Consumption Patterns and Media Landscapes in Illiberal Regimes
In the past years, illiberal political regimes emerged in Poland and Hungary. One of the victims to these regimes are media. Freedom and independence of media in those countries are now under pressure from various angles, such as legal regulations and outright political pressure.
