EU Reporter is a Brussels-based news website publishing content relating to the European Union, founded in 2002. [2]

In the 2000s a printed magazine edition was available for subscription, [3] and distributed free to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and EU Council and Commission officials. [4] [5] In 2009 its target readership was stated to be elected representatives, large and small business leaders, and commentators about the EU. [6]

In 2010 it was taken over by Colin Stevens. It had previously been owned by publisher Chris White [7] who continued writing for EU Reporter as a guest contributor. [8]

In 2021 its content was described by Politico.eu as a "blend of corporate press releases, original news and paid-for content". Some of the website's sponsored content is native advertising intended to look like a news article, without disclosing the sponsor. [9] [ disputed discuss ] It was noted for paraphrasing Huawei press releases and publishing them as news articles. [10] [11] EU Reporter rejected the accusation of undercover lobbying, characterising the reporting as "an attack by Politico Europe on a smaller but successful rival publication," and mentioning that they have engaged with NewsGuard to monitor their output and make its findings publicly available.
