“…As Sarikakis (2004) argues, the EP had long been pushing for supranational competences in the media sector in the face of reluctance or opposition from some member states and, to some extent, the Commission. The battle over Television Without Frontiers (TVwF), and its successor, the AVMS Directive, also marks out a difference in approach, where the Commission treated broadcasting essentially as a commercial activity to be liberalised and the EP as a cultural and human rights issue (Sarikakis 2004(Sarikakis , 2007; see also Dawson and Muir 2012). Dominant forces within Parliament pushed for the creation of a supranational broadcasting regulator when TVwF was discussed (Sarikakis 2004, 94); and later for guarantees in the AVMS Directive for the independence of national regulatory authorities (Agence Europe, 9 March 2007).…”

Using the 2010 Hungarian media law as a case study, this article traces the process in which an issue in the domestic politics of a ("new") EU member state is transformed into a transnational political conflict. How and why do political actors "upload" issues from the domestic to the EU level, specifically into the European parliamentary arena? How do others with conflicting interests resist such a change? The analytical framework is based on venue shopping, a concept hitherto mainly utilised in the context of interest group behaviour. Contestation around the Hungarian media law illustrates that a number of conditions related to the existing links of the uploading political actor with the new venue and the nature of the issue itself are necessary to make uploading a viable strategy.

“…The media law debate served as an outlet for broader concerns about the quality of democracy in this "new" member state -a subject that has already been treated elsewhere (see, e.g. Ackermann et al 2012;Dawson and Muir 2012). Second, Hungary was holding the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union at the time.…”

“…Therefore, a relevant campaign should be put in place throughout the EU. People can be convinced, but much more effort is needed to make them aware that law abidance is of crucial value in stable democracies and hence worth fighting for (see also Dawson and Muir, , p. 476). Good compliance examples should be spread in television spots and newspapers.…”
