We aim for full, correct and unbiased reporting so readers receive relevant and essential information about European institutions, policy and public life.

We are open about our editorial processes, funding sources and any potential conflicts of interest. Where relevant, we disclose funding, partnerships or sponsorships associated with content.

Public‑interest journalism

Our coverage of the challenges facing journalists in Brussels focuses on issues that matter to European audiences, including governance, democracy, technology, civic life and community impact.
