Euractiv

Euractiv (styled EURACTIV) is a pan-European news website specialised in EU policies, founded in 1999 by the French media publisher Christophe Leclercq. Its headquarters and central editorial staff are located in Brussels, with further offices in Paris and Berlin. Its content is produced by about 50 journalists staffed in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia. Euractiv's reporting focuses on the pre-legislative stage of EU decision-making, with up to 2,750 articles translated per year. In addition to Euractiv's editorial team, the company has established partnerships with media outlets such as Der Tagesspiegel, Agencia EFE and Ouest-France. Euractiv has diversified sources of funding, as the company seeks private and public revenues to run its business. In 2019, about a fifth of Euractiv's income came from public sources, including the EU. Other sources of revenue are advertising and corporate sponsoring. In May 2023, Euractiv was acquired by Belgian media company Mediahuis in what became the company's first international media platform acquisition. Christophe Leclercq is the founder of Euractiv. He is currently the chairman of the Euractiv Foundation, a non-profit organisation aiming at analysing the sustainability and transparency of media outlets. David Mekkaoui is the chief executive officer. Zoran Radosavljevic is editor in chief. The Capitals is Euractiv's flagship newsletter. It brings together political news from different European capitals, on a daily basis. The content is policy related and focuses on political, agricultural, economical, environmental, international, health, technology, and transport related news from their respective local contexts. Euractiv has been covering the European Parliament and other EU institutions for over twenty years. Its editorial coverage includes European politics in Brussels as well as a more in-depth analysis of EU policies in areas such as energy and environment, agriculture, food safety, transport and tech policy.
