What does EUobserver do?

EUobserver is a not-for-profit, independent online newspaper, established in Brussels in 2000. Independent European journalism is essential in making European democracy actually function. Today, there is a gap between the decision-makers in Brussels and the people they represent. EUobserver's goal is to fill this gap.

Why are we awarding a grant to EUobserver?

EUobserver plays a key role in monitoring and contextualizing Europe's political establishment and thus holds a critical function at a time of dwindling trust in EU decision-making, questioning of European solidarity in the face of the crisis, and the rise of polarization and authoritarianism.

What is our mutual goal?

The object of funding is to secure financial stability and grow EUobserver readership while keeping the newspaper's journalistic quality. Together, we aim in particular to strengthen reporting on public money invested in the European Union into greening of the economy.
