This year we marked the tenth anniversary of EU Today, a milestone that invites both reflection and anticipation for the future.
Speaking at EU Today’s 10th Anniversary Party in Brussels.
A decade ago, we set out with a clear purpose: to provide objective, independent reporting on European affairs, offering readers insight into the political, economic, and security issues shaping the continent and beyond.
Since its launch, EU Today has grown into a trusted platform for policymakers, analysts, and readers seeking fact-based reporting and informed commentary. At a time when the media landscape is becoming increasingly polarised, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to accuracy, impartiality, and journalistic integrity. Our objective has never been to chase headlines but to offer clarity, context, and analysis in a way that serves our audience rather than any agenda.
Over the past ten years, we have covered major events that have defined Europe’s trajectory. From the geopolitical shifts following Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea to the evolving relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom post-Brexit, EU Today has been at the forefront of reporting on critical developments, most notably by the veteran reporter Chris White on the ground in Ukraine in Israel, and in Gaza.
We have provided in-depth analysis of EU governance, economic policy, defence and security, human rights, and international relations, ensuring our readers are well-informed about the key issues affecting Europe and the wider world.
We couldn’t possibly have a 10th Anniversary celebration without live Jazz!
Our work has been made possible by a dedicated team of journalists and contributors who bring expertise and integrity to every article.
Their commitment to uncovering the facts, examining complex issues, and presenting balanced perspectives has been instrumental in establishing our reputation. We are grateful for their efforts and proud of the work they continue to produce.
Equally important has been the support of our readers. Whether policymakers, academics, industry leaders, or engaged citizens, our audience has played a crucial role in shaping EU Today into what it is today. Their engagement, feedback, and trust have driven us forward, reinforcing the importance of quality journalism in an era of misinformation and media sensationalism.
Looking ahead, and as we move into audio-visual journalism, we remain committed to maintaining the high standards we have set over the past decade. The challenges facing Europe and the world continue to evolve, and so must the way we report on them. With rapid technological advancements, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting social landscapes, independent journalism is more essential than ever.
Our mission remains unchanged: to inform, analyse, and provide a platform for critical discussion on the most pressing issues of our time.
As we mark this anniversary, we extend our thanks to all who have supported us on this journey. The past ten years have been a testament to the enduring value of honest reporting, and we look forward to continuing this work in the years to come.
