The European Correspondent

Our team of journalists will tell you what an (exceptionally well-informed) friend from that country would tell you: Only the most important and interesting stories from across the continent.

We cover the big societal challenges, political shifts, and ideas that impact all our lives, such as the fight against the climate crisis, the rise of the far-right or addressing migration. And some stories are about culture, history, or delightful things we think you would enjoy.

Who we are

We are not-for-profit – our community comes first. The European Correspondent does journalism relevant to people from Lisbon to Helsinki and Edinburgh to Istanbul. We want to be a place where people can come together to read, think and act together. 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.

Why should you care about European journalism?

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. To understand the challenges of our time we have to look beyond borders. But today, no truly European media outlet exists – we are here to change that!
