EUobserver was founded in Brussels in 2000. The media outlet stands for providing quality journalism, and seeks to fill the gap between the decision-makers in Brussels and the people they represent. It reports on how decisions are made in the European Union and allows people to make their voices heard within European institutions.
EUobserver is one of the most influential news platforms in the EU media environment, producing a daily newsletter reaching over 40,000 subscribers and a podcast. It also publishes two printed magazines on selected topics each year, one in May and one in November. The printed versions of the magazine are mailed directly to at least 2,000 EU stakeholders in Brussels.
The media outlet has a diversified portfolio of income streams: memberships, group subscriptions, advertising, and grants from the Adessium Foundation, the Fondation Nicolas Puech, the Tides Foundation, and the Schöpflin Stiftung, among others.
The media outlet is often cited as the source for other news publications, including BBC News, The Economist, The Guardian, The Independent, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, Business Insider, the Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, Deutsche Welle, Le Monde, Agence France-Presse (AFP), Al Jazeera, Gazeta Wyborcza, Der Standard, and Publico.
