Chapter six: The media and agenda setting: Political turbulence

  1. The media pluralism monitor (MPM)

The MPM is a new index; hence it only covers the years 2018-19. Its data assesses media pluralism and media freedom in four key areas: basic protection, market plurality, political independence, and social inclusiveness. Essentially this tells us if a country’s media is showing signs of stagnation or deterioration.

The political influence index pilot study contains comparative data regarding eight countries including the UK. The index measures the influence of the media on politics in general but more specifically on government.
