The problem of media ownership is crucial in democratic countries because the quality of the public debate depends on it. The aim of this analysis is to identify different forms of media ownership in six European countries (Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary and Italy) and the means by which these countries prevent the concentration of media ownership. Since the decisions made by the European Union have a great impact on the European media, the article also presents the position of the EU on the concentration of media ownership, as well as its response to decisions taken by member states regarding this matter. The 2000s and 2010s saw the liberalization of national regulations on the concentration of media ownership in some states. Attempts were also made to limit the relationship between the media and politics. There is also an emerging tendency towards integrated regulation, which includes both the media and the telecommunication markets.

There are many signs that our democracies are undergoing a transformation: populism, an erosion of civic participation in political parties, to replace citizens’ decision- making with expert knowledge, and the growing power of super-wealthy people. Urbinati grasps these problems in terms of three phenomena: technocratic depoliticisation, populism, and plebiscitarianism. This article argues that the central issue in contemporary democracies is wealth and inequality, and that is why we need a fully developed concept of oligarchy. Although Urbinati tries to take oligarchy into account, she does so mainly in relation to media ownership. This article considers oligarchy as a phenomenon typical for the contemporary era, and analyses it in the context of the development of Czech society during the last decade. The article adapts Jeffrey A. Winters’ oligarchy theory to the Czech context, effectively connecting political and societal spheres. Finally, the article suggests that only a re-conceptualised theory of democracy enriched by the theory of oligarchy can provide an effective starting point for addressing the pitfalls of the transformations of democracy.

This study analyses regulatory solutions at the level of the European Union, and Poland in particular. This issue is variously regulated in the national laws of many member states of the European Union. The fundamental objective of such restrictions should be the intention to ensure pluralism in the media. It is not the phenomenon of media concentration that poses a threat to freedom of expression but it is its scale.

Koncentracja mediów to proces postępujący na całym świecie. Wiele krajów należących do Unii Europejskiej wprowadziło regulacje, ograniczające procesy koncentracji, ale są one niewystarczające. W artykule zostały przedstawione podstawowe formy koncentracji medialnej, podstawowe formy własności mediów oraz wpływ koncentracji na lokalny rynek medialny w Polsce. Artykuł pokazuje również zagrożenia oraz korzyści płynące z koncentracji mediów dla lokalnego systemu medialnego. Koncentracja medialna na poziomie lokalnym została opisana w pracy doktorskiej autorki publikacji. Niniejszy artykuł poszerza informacje zawarte w rozprawie doktorskiej i stanowi wstęp do dalszych badań nad koncentracją mediów lokalnych w Polsce.

Media concentration is a process which progresses around the world. Many countries within the European Union introduced regulations restricting the processes of concentration, but they are insufficient. The article presents the basic forms of media concentration and ownership, and the influence of media concentration on the local media market in Poland. The article shows the risks and benefits of media concentration in a local media system. Media concentration on the local media market in Poland is one of the topics in the author’s doctoral dissertation. This article goes beyond information contained within the doctoral dissertation and it is the starting point for further research about media concentration in Poland.

In the article, the author stresses the necessity to abandon the traditional ways of teaching the Polish language and instead to develop the Key Competencies by utilizing private educational websites. During the crisis of traditional Polish philology, Polish language teachers and tutors discover new challenges as a result of alteration of the communication tools. Private educational sites represent the hi-tech didactic tools, which may co-determine the shape of the post-traditional Polish language teaching. National curriculum 2008 gives teachers and tutors a lot of freedom in constructing their own curriculum, however it requires possession of high competencies of the subject, just as maintaining one’s own website does. A creative use of contemporary didactic tools (but not colonization of such) represents a chance to counteract digital exclusion, structural violence and cosmopolitan identification; in addition it promotes e-inclusion. These are educational tasks important in countries in which the foreign capital dominates the media market (e.g. in Poland or Russia). It is only in the countries of so-called “democratic corporatism” (e.g. Germany, Austria, Norway) that electronic media are supervised, respect values fundamental for the society, address national concerns and serve local communities. Therefore, creation of private professional educational sites by Polish language teachers and tutors offers a chance to promote the national culture, to transform the subject “Polish language” into a post-traditional one, to develop the Key Competencies and to promote e-inclusion
