Euractiv (styled EURACTIV) is a pan-European media network specialised in EU policies, founded in 1999 by the French media publisher Christophe Leclercq.[1] Its headquarters and central editorial staff are located in Brussels, although its content is produced by about 50 journalists[2] staffed in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia.[3]
EURACTIV's reporting focuses on the pre-legislative stage of EU decision-making, with a team of translators translating up to 2,750 article a year.[4][5] 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.[2] Other sources of revenue are advertising and corporate sponsoring.
In 2018, the Annual ComRes/Burson-Marsteller survey of EU experts placed EURACTIV among the leading media outlets covering EU affairs, above Euronews and the EUobserver.[6] In 2019, a survey conducted by Politico ranked EURACTIV second on the list of the top 20 most influential media outlets among Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).[7]
EURACTIV's reporting is regularly quoted by international newspapers such as The New York Times,[8] the Financial Times,[9] CNN,[10] Le Point[11] and Il Post.[12]
Leadership
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.[13] David Mekkaoui is the chief executive officer.
Profile
EURACTIV has been covering the European Parliament and other EU institutions for twenty years. Its editorial coverage includes European politics in Brussels as well as more in-depth analysis of EU policies in areas such as energy and environment, agriculture, food safety, transport and tech policy.
Apart from daily articles, EURACTIV also produces special reports on specific policy topics. In 2016, the company introduced its flagship newsletter The Brief. In 2019, it launched a new round of EU-focused newsletters: The Capitals, the Digital Brief and the Transport Brief. In 2018, it organised more than 70 events, most of them sponsored, in the form of workshops or debates.[13]
