نبذة مختصرة : Challenges for „Z-generation Media” – the Definition of Audiovisual Media in the New Media Online Ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union The paper presents the problematic surrounding legal definition of audiovisual media service by presenting and interpreting a case recently decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union, C-347/14 New Media Online. The case – submitted to the Court in 2012 – garnered international interest from scholars and law practitioners as it approached current problems linked to the issue of audiovisual media content hosted on online news portals, more specifically: does this type of content fall under the scope of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. Advocate General Maciej Szpunar’s non-binding opinion from July 2015 and the Court’s final—somewhat diverging and more nuanced—decision from later that year offers important guidelines regarding the legal notion of (non-linear) audiovisual media content.
