In election campaigns, Russian officials responsible for spreading misinformation are tireless. But even if there is no election, they do not rest. 
Data on political ads posted in the months leading up to the European elections highlights the differences between the political contexts in various member states. In Romania, it’s the national parties who spend the most, in Greece it’s individual candidates, and in Slovenia it’s the European Parliament. 
J++ and other media have examined the election ads ahead of the EU elections, but the data is lacking on several accounts. 
Climate, the economy and immigration. The candidates and parties who stood in the European elections spent millions of euros on election advertising on Facebook. We have checked the contents of around 35,000 adverts from five different countries. 
An online media outlet created by journalists from the four corners of Europe, VoxEurop is born of one conviction: it is no longer possible to address the challenges of the present era at the level of the individual nation. 
Civil society is rebelling against the new Facebook rules on political advertising. 
The row over the EU copyright reform has triggered a wave of protest in Germany. Young Internet users in particular want to settle scores in the EU elections and are calling on voters to boycott the CDU/CSU and the SPD. In the Czech Republic too, the issue has emotions running high. 
In his weekly podcast "Fog in the Channel", European journalist Stefan de Vries looks at how the Continent will survive isolation as the UK sets sail. 
On the 25th of April, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) published their World Press Freedom Index for 2018. Europe hasn’t escaped the global trend of “growing animosity towards journalists”, condemned by the Paris-based NGO. 
For the researcher Olivier Ertzscheid, author of the New Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace, the forthcoming European General Data Protection Regulation is an important step forward for internet users. 
Facebook has been intensifying its lobbying efforts within European institutions since 2013. 
Recent legislation in the United States has restricted the country’s so-called “net neutrality”, allowing internet service providers to privilege customers who can afford to pay for faster data traffic. Will this decision affect net neutrality in the EU and the Balkans? 
The satirical weekly and the investigative journalism website are at daggers drawn on how French society should handle secularism and Islam's place in it. It is a controversy that reflects the hardening confrontation within the French Left — to which they both belong. 
How a group of media outlets joined forces to set up a collaborative platform to cover European affairs in the era of post-truth and alternative facts. 
Although journalists work in a relatively safe environment in Europe, and especially in EU countries, they sometimes pay the highest price for doing their job, as the recent murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia showed. 
Europeans are more and more connected to the internet, but there still are huge gaps between regions and countries. 
Starting from today we are publishing stories within the European data journalism network, the data-driven journalism platform that has been set up by a consortium […] 
One of the EU’s most successful initiatives, the Erasmus student exchange programme can be replicated for young and talented journalists and communications experts.

They put in danger their private and professional lives to reveal the embezzlement and irregularities they discover in their workplaces, yet whistleblowers do not enjoy the protection they deserve. But now things in Europe are starting to shift. 
The methods used by Emmanuel Macron’s presidential campaign team to defend itself against hackers may provide useful lessons for other political parties in Europe, notably during Germany’s general election in September.

Is the goal of a European public sphere best served by the creation of a supranational public service broadcaster, as has recently been proposed? Roman Léandre Schmidt and Carl Henrik Fredriksson are sceptical: rather than creating an artificial flagship, the EU must provide incentives for existing outlets to Europeanize their operations. 
Anti-fake news projects have sprouted up in France and Germany, but who checks the fact-checkers and what can they really achieve? 
A chorus of discordant voices rang out in the European Parliament in Brussels as AEJ journalists met with MEPs from all parts of Europe and all the political groups for two days of lively debates in the run-up to the UK’s delivery of its ‘Brexit letter’, on 29 March. The event took place as the EU sailed into unknown territory beyond its 60th birthday and the UK prepares its own lifeboat to disembark from the mother ship. 
We are pleased to announce a new data-driven endeavour that will support European journalists. In October 2017, the European Data Journalism Network – EDJNet will […] 
The tensions between the European Union and Russia are changing the ways in which the EU defines and combats hate-speech. Attention is growing on the role of Russian television in Eastern Europe. 
As propaganda gets more attention on social media than real news and politics go more and more post-factual, the EU should get its own broadcasting channel to counter fake news and lies, draw Europe together and defend democracy. 
In just ten days, a weekly newspaper for the anti-Brexit voters has been launched in the United Kingdom. It aims at providing them "in-depth analysis of the Brexit process, its implications and progress as well as a celebration of European life and culture". 
One of the main TV stations in Bulgaria glorifies a man who hunts migrants and wants them 'dead'.
