Since 2002, the Mediamonitor of the Dutch Media Authority has published annual reports about the public information supply with a specific focus on the effects of media concentration on the diversity and independence of that information. This Mediamonitor is a special edition because it is written in English to provide an introduction to the Dutch media landscape to an international audience. Publication discusses the newspaper, television, radio markets and the internet, introduced by an explanation of the regulations on media concentration. To put the Dutch media landscape in the wider European context, information is also presented on the various markets in several other European member states (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Spain and the United Kingdom).
