Abstract
The question of identity in media policy in Europe has long been one that encompasses much more than ‘just’ the question of construction and reflection of ways of living, perceptions and understandings about oneself and others. Identity as a matter of European media policy has pointed — right from the ‘start’ — to the deeper issues about the existence and role of the EU, not only its past history but also to a vision for its future. Unavoidably, furthermore, identity as a matter of media policy in Europe revolves around questions of diversity in terms of cultural representation, but also in terms of production and pluralism of the media.
