EUobserver is a European online newspaper, launched in 2000 by the Brussels-based organisation EUobserver.com ASBL.
The newspaper provides both daily reports and in-depth coverage on international affairs related to the European Union (EU).[1] It is regarded as one of the first English language media outlets dedicated to the reporting of EU affairs,[2] since joined by The Brussels Times, EURACTIV and Politico Europe.[3]

EUobserver provides an extremely useful report on daily issues concerning the EU.

Every newspaper stand in Europe provides English-language newspapers and magazines, yet none of them are produced on the European Continent expressly with the intention of reaching a Continental European audience. Rather, newspapers such as the International Tribute or magazines such as Time or Newsweek are intended for a readership of English native speakers abroad and an international elite of non-native speakers. Thus, we cannot really group these under the heading of 'English in European media'. The only first development in this direction is, to the author's knowledge, the online news magazine EU Observer, which presents EU-related news to a European audience in English.

One of the factors that restrict advocacy think tanks in the EU from emerging is the lack of widely read European media, not disregarding Politico.eu, EUobserver, and EurActiv.
