Writing about Europe

Is Europe newsworthy?

Europe is frequently considered boring, difficult to understand and of little relevance by readers, viewers and listeners.

In consequence the Rappresentanza in Italia della Commissione europea has decided to set up two workshops to provide practical examples of dynamic European journalism.

The first workshop, entitled Writing about Europe, will deal with the web and print media. Workshop participants will include representatives of owni.eu, specialists in data journalism, and Presseurop, a website dedicated to European news. Under consideration will be the choice of news stories and a dynamic treatment of the news.

The second workshop, entitled Speaking about Europe, will deal with audio-visual media. Workshop participants will include the TV channel Euronews, Euranet the network of European radio stations focused on European news, and RAI Parliament News with its specials on Europe.
