23 | Welsh Enterprise Awards 2021 Founded in 2011, EU Reporter is an independent news outlet which provides online news and video content regarding the EU and world affairs in 58 languages. Partnered with eight international online platforms, including London Globe, Le Globe France, and Der Globus Deutschland, EU Reporter is largely read by law makers, policy and business decision-makers in Brussels and national capitals across the world. EU Reporter is a Brussels-based European multimedia news platform which broadcasts quality video content, including exclusive interviews with leading European politicians and decision-makers. It produces all of its video content using its own video production facilities, camera crews and video editing. Its content including breaking political news and opinion pieces by influential thinkers and businesspeople, EU Reporter is widely read by law makers, policy and decision-makers around the world. The magazine is distributed to every Member of the European Parliament, thousands of senior officials in the EU institutions and member states’ representations, as well as in over 100 diplomatic missions in Brussels and in NATO headquarters. It is also distributed to high-level conferences, in hotels in Brussels’ EU quarter, and in think-tanks on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as to the UK Westminster Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, and Welsh Assembly, along with over 2,000 individual subscribers. Alongside the magazine, the EU Reporter website is hugely visited by 1.8 million users per month, in over 157 countries and territories worldwide. It is not a mass market publication but rather one with a dedicated and interested readership/viewership. Mainstream news sites will have greater metrics, but they are not as politically-focused. The news outlet is very aware of who its audience is, and its content is tailored to suit their interests. EU Reporter’s analytics reveal that its social media followers are in their late thirties, typically married men with high income. Professionally, they work as politicians, consultants, senior managers, civil servants/functionaries, and sales/ marketing managers, and in their spare time they enjoy political news, history, reading, science news, and travel. On social media, they talk about news/politics, business, and technology. This audience is well-focused and particularly attractive for embassies wishing to influence European political thinking and decision-making. EU Reporter is owned and led by award-winning publisher and editor, Colin Stevens, who has more than 30 years’ experience as a TV producer and journalist working in both television and radio for the BBC, ITV, Sky, CNN, Channel 4, S4C, and JN1.TV. He is a former news editor and editor of related programmes at ITV Wales and was deputy CEO of Quadrant Media and Communications. He is president of the Press Club Brussels, and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters at Zerah Business School (Malta and Luxembourg) for leadership in European journalism. Among his numerous accolades are New York Film and Television Festival, Golden Video Award, BAFTA Best News & Actuality, and Brighton Wildlife Film Festival Best Documentary. Colin is joined by a team of experienced broadcast journalists and correspondents, all of whom are experts in their particular areas. They report for both EU Reporter’s online news portal and EU Reporter News Agency’s clients from the EU institutions of Brussels and Strasbourg. Indeed, EU Reporter continues to provide everything its readers/viewers need to know about the EU political landscape, online, in video and in print, giving them access to breaking news and incisive analysis on both EU affairs and transatlantic relations.
