These are the 50,000 wonderful people who read The European Correspondent.
It’s time for you, our community, to take the stage.
When we launched in November 2022, we dreamt about this moment but didn't believe it would happen that soon. Now we’re here, together with you all, in less than two years. Thank you. To celebrate this milestone, we wanted to show who reads The European Correspondent.
Our average reader is Maria from Italy, who works as a teacher.
And now in more detail. ↓
You're from all over Europe and mainly spread evenly across the continent. People from Southern Europe are especially interested in our journalism. As expected, some of you work in the EU bubble in Brussels – but our readership extends far beyond Europhiles and Eurocrats.
Our journalism also travels way beyond the edges of the continent. Some of you read European stories in…
Algeria
Argentina
and even Nauru!
There is nothing we couldn’t do together with you, our community. We could run schools, build bridges, and create overpriced PowerPoint slides. These are the jobs most of you do.

Being supported by you and many other readers keeps us free from political or corporate influence. It means our correspondents can report independently and expose the misdeeds of those in power. In the long run, we can only produce the newsletter with your support and work towards the bigger vision: building true European media.
