Euro|topics: European press roundup

The euro|topics press review reflects the diversity of opinions in Europe. It takes debates out of their national context and promotes discourse beyond national borders and language barriers.
Correspondents in all the EU member states as well as the UK, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine monitor more than 500 print and online media across the entire political spectrum and translate excerpts from opinion pieces. Political, economic and social issues are continually examined from different perspectives. Brief introductions supply background information on the debates. Links to the original texts and media are also provided.
A database provides information about more than 500 print and online media in over 30 countries, including details about their political profile, publishers and circulation figures. It also contains detailed descriptions of Europe's media landscapes.
euro|topics is a project of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb).

VOXeurop

VOXeurop is a multilingual internet portal for news in Europe. Launched on 25 May 2009 by the European Commission (then called ‘Presseurope’), the site was run by four press companies, all with a long history of covering general and political news through the lens of the international press.
The re-establishment of VOXeurope in 2014 takes up this principle again. Founded by journalists from different European countries as an independent online media company, it is run by a European press co-operative. With this open community of journalists and editors, translators, partner media and readers as well as members from over 30 countries, VOXeurop pursues the goal of reporting with a European perspective.
