The
The Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg (mabb) is one of the 14 state media authorities in Germany responsible for the regulation and supervision of private broadcasting operators and platforms. The mabb has two central bodies: the Media Council, the decision-making body, and the Director, who prepares and implements the decisions and represents the mabb externally[3][5].
The mabb is committed to monitoring compliance with legal requirements for private broadcasting programs and ensuring that all operators are treated equally. A central aspect of its work is youth protection, which it implements through the Commission for Youth Media Protection (KJM). The mabb also promotes media literacy and the teaching of news competence, especially among young people[3][5].
The mabb works closely with other state media authorities and organizations to ensure a uniform and effective regulation of the media market and to represent the interests of media users. Through its diverse initiatives and programs, the mabb significantly contributes to the promotion of media literacy, youth participation, and the development of the media landscape.
