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. It would foster innovation sharing and, ultimately, a better coverage of European affairs, says its initiator, Euractiv’s founder Christophe Leclercq. 
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. 
The Council of Europe published on 21 April the results of the first large-scale survey of journalists across Europe. More than two-thirds of the 940 […] 
By flooding French social media with fake news and openly supporting far-right leader Marine Le Pen, the Kremlin is weighing in for the most anti-EU candidate in the 23 April runoff. 
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'. 
2016 will be marked by debates around what would follow a British exit from the EU, after the referendum announced by David Cameron. It is a discussion that does not simply affect British voters, but all Europeans, argues the head of the Euranet Plus news agency. 
A British documentary series on Romanians seeking work in the United Kingdom has sparked debate about how its subjects are depicted. Although the series’ directors […] 
A pioneer in electronic government, Estonia has introduced e-residency, giving foreigners access to a vast range of online services from anywhere in the world. 
British and US intelligence agencies are suspected of being behind cyberattacks on the European Union and a Belgian telecom company, writes The Intercept.
The site explains […] 
In Budapest, the “School of Hackers”, one of the branches of Kürt Academy – Hungary’s information security leader – trains “friendly pirates”, writes French daily […] 
Launched in May 2009, Presseurop, in its present form, will close down on December 20 due to lack of funding. This marks the end of a journalistic experiment with a civic dimension, says the European press. 
Despite being strong advocates of competition, European institutions are bound to the US software giant through murky contracts. Any transition to "open source" software, which in theory they encourage, would be too complicated and too expensive, they claim. 
In response to NSA eavesdropping and the massive collection of user data by internet giants, it is up to the EU to lay the foundations for the future worldwide web. Because only Europe can guarantee a “responsible, shared” environment in which individuals can manage the data that concerns them, points out a French philosopher.
