Euractiv is not the only European media who struggles in staying afloat. The media landscape in Brussels is reshaping quickly. What does it change to public affairs practitioners?
Alexandre, I stumble a bit late upon your analysis (as I was reading your good piece about the vdL / Breton competition). While I personally don't agree with some of your speculation on some players, we do share views about media consolidation. Actually reflected in the upcoming Media Freedom Act. As continuing chair of Europe's MediaLab (ex Fondation EURACTIV), I'll gladly debate with others. Now, as for independent bloggers becoming famous influencers: are you not talking... pro domo? :)
I do think that independent "witnesses" can bring some things that traditional media cannot. Personal experience first amoung them. On the other hand, journalists and newspapers remain key players in the media landscape (providing reporting, fact-checking, etc.).
