ABSTRACT
In Luxembourg, self-regulation is mainly present in two forms: a strong Press Council with broad powers is complemented by a lively protest culture, exercised particularly in the form of letters to the editor. However, media accountability is not an issue of pressing concern in Luxembourg, a small country with a proportionally high number of media outlets and a strong journalistic community in the tradition of media as the ‘fourth power’ – an authority that controls rather than being in need of control.
