Where Europe Hits Home
A weekly podcast and newsletter — in English, German, Polish, Croatian and Latvian — discussing the effects of European politics on daily life.
LensEU is a collaborative journalism project that connects European debates to on-the-ground reporting: what’s at stake, and what communities are doing about it. Topics cut across borders, from economic insecurity and the green transition to Big Tech and election interference. Each week, one of five partner newsrooms (CORRECTIV, OKO.press, Die Presse, Telegram.hr or TVNET) takes the lead in a podcast and in-depth newsletter, exploring how these issues are experienced, country by country.
