Eurotopics is a pan-European news aggregator and press review that curates and translates opinion pieces from over 500 print and online media outlets across more than 30 European countries. Launched in 2005 and funded by Germany’s Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung), the platform reflects the diversity of perspectives and debates shaping the European public sphere. Its editorial team, made up of correspondents stationed in European Union member states as well as the UK, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and Switzerland, selects commentary on leading political, social, and economic issues and translates key excerpts into German, English, French, Russian, and Turkish. The daily Eurotopics press review helps readers follow cross-border debates and identify the varying opinions, ideas, and moods moving Europe. It aims to build bridges between media landscapes and to foster a more interconnected European discourse by highlighting both consensus and controversy. Users can access the review online or subscribe to a free daily newsletter. The platform is recognized for its minimal bias, factual reporting, and commitment to presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints. In addition to its daily press roundups, Eurotopics provides a comprehensive database of European media, offering details about the political orientation, ownership, and circulation of major outlets. This makes it not only a resource for tracking the pulse of European debate but also a valuable reference for understanding the continent’s media landscape.
