Abstract

The review focuses on the common thread running through the eleventh edition of the handbook R. Zaccaria, A. Valastro, E. Albanesi, Diritto dell’informazione e della comunicazione, Milano, Cedam-Wolters Kluwer, 2021, i.e. a critical analysis of the constitutional principle of pluralism. The principle was established in Italy by the Constitutional Court from the 1970s/1980s with regard to the television broadcasting system. The Constitutional Court, the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights still refer to it in their case law, with regard to the digital environment born from the digital revolution and the transformation of the Internet from the second half of the 2000s. The handbook argues that the implementation of the principle is still unsatisfactory, though.
