Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose a new concept of pluralism to guarantee its real presence in the media. Taking in account this concept, three main indicators are used: the presence of the different social and political groups, the nature of their intervention and the characteristics of the image transmitted. The selected sample comes from five European countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Pluralism in the news is evaluated through the analysis of quantitative content. The study shows the concept and measure of pluralism in the European national laws is unsatisfactory.
