Euractiv is an independent pan-European media network specialised in EU affairs, established by its founder Christophe Leclercq in 1999. Its reporting is constructive yet critical, following EU policy processes from idea to implementation, as well as the most important news on the ground in Europe's capitals, and beyond. Our political and economic reporting shapes the political agenda in Brussels, and is led by our news team based in the European capital. They are supported by offices in Berlin, Paris, and Madrid, as well as a network of correspondents and partners across the continent. You can read the best of that news coverage in Euractiv's morning newsletter, The Capitals. Alongside our political and economic coverage, we report on five distinct policy 'verticals', available as part of Euractiv's Pro subscription. Those policy areas are:

• Agriculture & Food
• Defence
• Energy, Environment & Transport
• Health
• Technology

Euractiv is committed to independent reporting and organisational transparency. We do so primarily through a diversified business model resting on a bedrock of subscriptions, so no one view can be privileged above others. Euractiv is also part of  the Trust Project, which requires fulfilment of an extensive list of criteria to prove an ongoing commitment to transparency and solid journalistic ethics.
