Focus Area
European Public Spheres
While the lives of Europeans are interconnected, the public sphere is not. European public spheres only become apparent during pan-European crises, when the whole continent is talking about the same issue. In between, national topics dominate the media coverage, obscuring the view on similarities and differences, rifts and reciprocal misunderstandings between countries and regions.
Through our projects and publications, we connect newsrooms and different perspectives, contributing to the emergence of the much hoped for European public sphere and regional subspheres. We provide resources to explore ways and means of cooperation between journalists across Europe - and spread the awareness that European journalism only works when we take off our national lenses.
