Abstract

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación comparada realizada sobre la regulación de la cobertura de la información política en diez operadores públicos europeos. En concreto, el estudio investiga si existe regulación del pluralismo político, tanto para períodos electorales como ordinarios, aplicable a los informativos diarios. Aquí se proporcionan los resultados para cada país y las conclusiones comparadas. Los datos informan de diferentes grados de politización de la regulación, según el uso de criterios cualitativos o cuantitativos. La investigación también describe cuales son los sistemas de control del pluralismo político en los diez países estudiados.
