Therefore the study uses the influence of the market, the state and the civil society on media as a feature. This influence is determined for the different forms of media and the different value gradations of the media value chains and subsequently condensed in a weighted average for the whole media landscape.The main findings are 1st: a relatively high level of distance from the state of the media during the whole observation period; 2nd: an over time increasing number of forms of media ("Differentiation" of media), and 3rd: an over time increasing influence of the market on all forms of media ("commercialization" of media).
