Euronews has had a new editorial director for the past 3 weeks and he comes from Axel Springer’s German tabloid Bild.
Quote via Politico (ironically—owned by Springer):
“Strunz declarations on Twitter are worrying because this is not what you’d expect from the boss of Euronews, especially when he applauds [far right German party] AfD results as a sign of functioning democracy,” src
After Trump’s victory, Euronews shared, uncommented, a congratulations video from Orbán to Trump on its Instagram feed.
There is now an open letter from the Union representatives voicing concern about the staff’s journalistic freedoms (in French).
Brilliant, thanks! I’ve never given Euractiv much of a chance for some reason. Will do it now!
I’ve been using Arte before from France, but I somehow only now realized it’s available for free outside France and Germany as well. Great stuff.
Arte gets a bit of funding from the EU as well, to ad subtitles for some programming to Spanish, Italian, English and Polish. However outside the EU you sometimes need VPN to access to content.
