PULSE is a cross-border journalism initiative that takes a collaborative approach to editorial production to foster a vibrant European public sphere.
Lead by OBCT, together with n-ost and Voxeurop, the project brings together 10 prominent national media outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EFSYN – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, Hotnews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) in a collaborative hub. Here they produce and distribute 2.000+ journalistic pieces, covering European affairs on a daily basis. The stories present new and diverse perspectives and are translated into 12 different European languages. Special attention is paid to under-reported countries, regions and social groups, including rural areas and small and medium-sized EU countries.
n-ost is coordinating the creation of 4 Thematic Networks - open to all journalists - that provide platforms to collaboratively produce journalistic work that covers key European issues. They offer the opportunity to exchange ideas and tips, share insightful resources or questions, gain access to interesting materials for new pieces, and find co-authors or partners in other countries.
These are the Thematic Networks with the respective coordinators:

The Thematic Network focuses on media discourse and invites journalists, experts and researchers on media studies to collaborate. It covers topics like the mutual effects of media and society, e.g. the perception of media and the role of people working in media, national and European media legislation, e.g. the European Media Freedom Act, challenges and chances by AI and digitalisation, „fake news“ and fact checking as well as educational topics, e.g. the (ab)use of social networks.
