Surprisingly, only weak media concentration regulations were introduced to protect media diversity. This article looks for the reasons behind this paradoxical situation by examining parliamentary debates about media and competition regulations. It becomes apparent that decision-makers encouraged cross-media ownership assuming that it would strengthen regional publishing houses in order to maintain regional diversity within the country. Alongside this goal was with the intention to establish a strong public service broadcaster, which would enable comprehensive domestic programmes despite the high market shares of foreign broadcasting stations."

However, small states do not only share structural peculiarities but also feature different political and historic traditions. This helps explain why the connection between smallness and media regulation is far from clear. Thus, it is suggested here to amend existing typologies of media systems with the notion of smallness, which would allow for more systematic comparative research. In addition, future research on small states needs to consider issues of Europeanization and globalization, examining the role of small states in decision-making on the supranational and international level."
