The transition to digital media has a significant impact on how consumers relate to and consume news media. In a world in transformation, the Europeans continue to see radio as one of the most reliable sources of news. According to a recent survey on media and news developed by Eurobarometer1, 49% of respondents expect radio stations (and public TV) to give them truthful news. Also, 39% of the inquired citizens replied that radio was one of their most used media to access news in the past seven years. The numerous challenges the media sector is facing have more intense contours at the local and regional levels, especially in sparsely populated European regions. By giving citizens a direct and first-hand source of original reporting, local, regional, and community media news play an important and valuable role in societies. In contrast to large national radios, local regional radios tend to have deeper contact with the community and assist in giving voice to those who are underrepresented. Regional journalism is also viewed as a place for public discussion and engagement with local politics, which is usually underrepresented in national journalism. Local and regional radios also tend to be a space for promoting regional entities/businesses, and most of their contents are thought to boost the identity of each region, thus facilitating intercultural dialogue. These radios are typically distinguished by the community's active involvement in all organizational procedures. Digitization facilitated the publication of news in different formats and the digital transition caused changes in the consumption and monetization of news content, which increased the competitiveness of the market, especially in the radio sector, which saw its listeners, mainly young people, switch to online sources, and advertising revenues drop considerably. This has impacted the financial sustainability of local and regional ...

Background and general objectives. Background and general objectives Describe the background and rationale of the project. How is the project relevant to the scope of the call? How does the project address the general objectives of the call? What is the project’s contribution to the priorities of the call? At Union level there is needed to have a simpler and more modern tax environment that would help compliant businesses to reap the benefits of the single market and therefore sustain the Union economic growth. This has become even more relevant in the COVID-19 crisis. Tax policies have to ensure that everyone pays its fair share in an environment in which businesses and citizens alike can prosper and innovate. A successful implementation of Union tax policy requires cooperation actions directly or indirectly reinforcing the uniform application of law by all tax administrations of Member States, together with information systems that support the administration of taxes and provide an overview of taxable entities’ financial flows. The digital economy and the development of new business models are new challenges for tax administrations that have to adapt to such changes. The developing digital economy also creates unprecedented opportunities for ensuring better tax compliance thanks to the data collected by digital platforms. Taxation in the 21st century, as the rest of the society, faces a technological revolution by which it is and will remain heavily impacted. Union taxation has to face these technological challenges, it has to re-invent itself, embrace new technologies and use innovative solutions. Deep collaboration between the Member States tax administrations directly contributes to the increased effectiveness and efficiency of tax administrations. This project will provide fora for this collaboration: the administrations can share knowledge, experience, good practices and set guidelines together through the project activities. The collaboration supported by the project can benefit the strategic policy aspects as well as the day-to-day operational functioning of the internal market and of the tax administrations. Working together in task teams, task forces, project groups and other similar set-ups further reinforce operational synergies, deepens trust between the Member States tax administrations, and contributes to achieve equivalent results by the tax administrations. This project will also facilitate efforts by providing a platform to review and monitor modern and emerging solutions...

The Cooperator is a public research university, sharing research, educational, and technological strengths with other institutions. Through inter-institutional collaboration, combined with the unique contributions of each constituent institution, the Cooperator strives to contribute substantially to the cultural, economic, environmental, scientific, social and technological advancement of the nation.
