Transparency of media ownership in Europe

Media ownership in Europe means who owns the big media companies like newspapers and television networks. Transparency means that we know who owns these companies. In Europe, a lot of countries have laws that make sure we can know who owns these media companies. That way people can tell if the news they are reading or the TV shows they are watching is owned by someone who might have a bias or give one side of the story.
