“A series of recommendations issued Monday (PDF) by the European Union’s ‘High Level Group’ proposes the establishment of ‘media councils’ in every member state that would be monitored by the European Commission and given the power to fine, censor and even fire individual journalists if deemed appropriate. Another recommendation pertaining to media councils advises that they be staffed ‘with a politically and culturally balanced and socially diverse membership,’ with lawmakers — not journalists or publishers — making the nominations.”
