The ministry of culture, Ane Halsboe, has proposed a series of initiatives in the media sector. The government proposal will be negotiated with the other parties until a majority support is found.
- Streaming platforms (like Netflix) will have to pay a 5% cultural tax from the revenue made in Denmark. The new tax will fund the production of Danish movies.
- A new centre called “Tech and Democracy” will be established to create more knowledge on the social media platforms’ effects on democracy and freedom of speech.
- Financial support to initiatives that fact-check information.
- Public grants for radio and podcast content.
- Financial support for local and regional media.
