This chapter shows that financial and non-financial media subsidies are widespread in the media sector. They can help overcoming temporary crises of media companies, but they are no quick fix for the structural crises news media are undergoing. Most subsidies in European countries are granted for the purpose of maintaining diversity, holding power to account, educating journalists and encouraging alternative voices. With a view to the long tradition and the strengths and weaknesses of media subsidies the author concludes by suggesting accepting media subsidies as one element in the media policy tool box. 2018-06-27 14:38:35 2020-04-01T12:57:44Z 2020-04-01T12:57:44Z 2018 chapter 645610 OCN: 1030819054 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30509 eng application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 645610.pdf https://intellectbooks.com/ Intellect Comparative Media Policy, Regulation and Governance in Europe dba70200-fc42-4588-b068-f9ec198260f0 e4c2c228-a1a9-4cb2-8bd5-aa31307f039f c6043da5-82b4-41a0-9ded-39ffb1434f95 5 The Euromedia Research Group open access
