Communications, media and internet concentration in France, 2019-2021 - Dataset

This report focuses on approximately thirty French markets, contributing to local debates and research as part of the Global Media and Internet Concentration Project (GMICP). It explores the dynamics of diversified economic players in cultural industries (press, audiovisual, books, music), emphasizing the coexistence of 'traditional' and 'new' entrants. The study provides sector-based and global analyses, revealing a dual dynamic of diversification and concentration in the production, distribution, and broadcasting of cultural and information content. Audiovisual content broadcasting, both free and pay, demonstrates national dominance but faces challenges from foreign groups. Financialization and concentration affect media and cultural goods industries, posing risks to diversity of opinion. The dominance of North American groups in digital services, particularly in advertising, is noted, impacting traditional media revenues. Telecom operators lead the French market, with regulators monitoring concentration dynamics for potential negative impacts on diversity.

本报告聚焦约30个法国市场，作为全球媒体与互联网集中度项目（Global Media and Internet Concentration Project, GMICP）的组成部分，为本地议题讨论与学术研究提供支撑。报告探讨了文化产业（涵盖报业、视听、图书、音乐领域）内多元经济主体的发展动态，着重分析了“传统”参与者与“新兴”入局者的共存格局。本研究同时开展分行业与全局性分析，揭示了文化与信息内容的生产、分发及传播环节中，多元化与集中化并存的双重发展态势。免费与付费视听内容传播领域呈现本土主导的格局，但同时面临境外集团的竞争挑战。金融化与集中化趋势对媒体及文化产品产业造成冲击，对舆论多样性构成潜在风险。研究同时指出，北美集团在数字服务领域占据主导地位，尤其在广告市场，这一状况对传统媒体的营收产生了负面影响。法国市场中，电信运营商处于领军地位，监管机构正密切监控集中化动态，以防范其对多样性可能带来的负面影响。
