Adopted

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to set up an EU hotline as a rapid-response mechanism for journalists requesting protection and to ensure that adequate attention is paid to their situation
• Deplores the fact that in some Member States media regulatory bodies have come under government influence and operate in a manner biased against media outlets that are critical of the government
• Reiterates, in this context, its call for an ambitious EU media action plan to support the development of a vibrant and pluralistic media landscape

Quoted from A9-0205/2020, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
