Summary/Abstract: The paper covers one of the aspects of the media politics undertaken by Catalonia and Basque Country governments; precisely, it focuses on their legislative and executive actions concerning new media. Moreover, the particular normative acts are analysed, especially those orienting the policies undertaken by the authorities of the Spanish autonomous regions at the market of new media and its development. Both in Catalonia and Basque Country media are affecting the construction of a regional identity significantly. Due to the systemic influence of new media, the authorities in those regions fulfil the constitutional guarantee of the access to information in the vernacular languages and, simultaneously, achieve their own political goals by means of expanding the scope of the local public sphere.
