  • Should be Empty:

European journalism is under construction.

The smartest ideas and people rarely come from our home country. The decade-defining events usually happen elsewhere. But their impact is felt across Europe.

Currently, Europe lacks true European media: in Germany alone, more media outlets are devoted exclusively to football than news outlets specialising in Europe. The few newspapers with "Europe" in their name mainly focus on the Brussels bubble and report for lobbyists and business people.

The European Correspondent aims to do journalism relevant to people from Lisbon to Helsinki and Edinburgh to Istanbul. What we do is a work in progress, and we don't expect to reach a final version soon. Together with you, we want to develop the future of European journalism.
