We are a non-profit, staffed by journalists who truly care about the topics they report on. We're not owned by corporations, billionaires or despots, and never will be. This year, we turn 25!
Our funding comes from members (about 45%), advertising (~30%) and foundations (the rest). But we aim to be fully member-funded in the future – with your help. If you need convincing, you can subscribe to our newsletter (and get 3 free articles per month): euobserver.com/register
We report on topics that matter; #ruleoflaw, #migration, the #greentransition, #labour, #equality, #fundamentalrights , EU-Africa relations, #corruption, #transparency and #maladministration, #foreignpolicy, and more. Read on for some examples.
