New Forms of Regulation in Media Law
New forms of regulation present a focus of the legal research of the Institute. It questions how changes in the area of media may be shaped legally, whether there is a need for legal regulation given the dynamic development of media and which new forms of regulation are suitable. Using guidelines, such as "regulated self-regulation", innovative solutions for current problems are being developed, e.g. regarding the protection of minors or in the field of digitalisation.
