EUobserver.com is an independent online newspaper focusing on the politics of the European Union (EU). It focuses on human rights, civil liberties, transparency, anti-corruption, critical environmentalism and the democratisation of the European Union. It also publishes comment pieces and blogs reflecting opinion from across the political spectrum, but it does not publish its own leaders or editorials.
History
Established in 2000, the EUobserver claims to be the largest online daily news site focused on the EU with over 60,000 daily readers and the second most read EU-related news source used by journalists after the Financial Times.[1][2]
In 2008, the website was redesigned in order to include video capabilities and blogs. In 2009, the EUobserver partnered with the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung to launch the WAZeuobserver, providing a similar service but focussed on the Balkans.
The website's editor-in-chief is Lisbeth Kirk, Danish journalist, the wife of Jens-Peter Bonde, a former Danish Member of the European Parliament who used to co-chair the Independence and Democracy group of eurocritical MEPs in the European Parliament.[3]
