Dear reader,
Media are a pillar of democracy – as long as they can function well. Now, more than ever, we need unbiased, informed information about how – and why – the European Union works. This information should not be hidden behind a paywall. We continue to undertake to make our content available free of charge.
We know that our readers value our reporting. We know that journalism that reports on the EU in a clear and unbiased manner is essential for the future of the European Union.
And we know that your support is essential so that such independent and (free) free journalism can continue to exist.
Don’t take the media sector for granted. The media were in a precarious position even before the coronavirus pandemic. And since people cannot currently meet, the industry is losing one of its main sources of income: events. EURACTIV is funded through a mix of revenue streams including sponsorship, online advertising, EU-funded projects and political debate events. All of these sources of income are affected by the current crisis.
As the media struggles to survive, disinformation flourishes and flourishes at the same time. We are already seeing a lot of scare tactics, fake news about the EU’s reactions, and increasing threats to press freedom.
We have been providing free, independent, multilingual coverage of the European Union for over two decades. We continue to believe in Europe; and we hope you do too.
Your financial support at this critical time would enable our network of newsrooms across Europe to continue its work – at a time when Europe needs them most.
Thank you for your support of the EURACTIV media network!
