Europa United Media Company is a non-profit Irish organisation Limited By Guarantee and is incorporated in Ireland. Our goal is help to encourage conversation and opinion on the Europe of today though our publications and work as well as providing a platform that supports aspiring writers. Europa United receives no third party financial assistance and is not connected to any media organisation or political party. All our contributors and team members are volunteers. Our publications are our original work and it is to be noted that our contributors views are expressively their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Europa United.
We wish to encourage the debate on further European integration through our publications and other activities.
We want Europa United to provide a public service platform beyond the light speed of social media.
We wish to speak for democracy and respect freedom of speech.
It is vital for us to widen the debate about Europe beyond the bubbles of European focus.
We want to be disruptive to social media while complimenting professional outlets.
One of our primary goals is to source talent and encourage those who wish to write about Europe.
We want to give people an opportunity to write regardless of their background or qualifications.
Our goals
We wish to evolve the concept of democratic journalism.
To promote and work under gender balance rules.
We want to encourage personal stories, but avoid rants.
To be a real social media outlet for European citizens.
We comment rather than just report – step back from the initial story and asses the aftermath.
To build our current ability to speak with the voice of a real transnational European team.
To become a leading civil society media organisation in Europe.
We want to provide rational, but rival opinions on European issues.
To defend the Europe we live in, but not make excuses for it.
To be valued and trusted as voice of the citizens of Europe.
To remain non-profit and encourage volunteering.
