EU countries now get the green light to fund local news outlets without Brussels’ approval, a major shift in state aid rules designed to rescue struggling media amid digital disruption. The move aims to preserve media diversity, support regional languages, and ensure communities stay informed — especially as online platforms erode traditional advertising revenue. Outlets must meet criteria like promoting pluralism or transitioning to digital while keeping print alive. While intended to simplify access to aid, experts warn the new rules may actually add complexity through stricter exemptions. The update also touches on innovation and job training, though some sectors — like smaller airports — remain locked out due to passenger thresholds.
