PULSE – Europe beyond the beat is a cross-border journalistic initiative embracing a ‘collaborative by design’ approach to editorial production. It brings together 10 prominent national media outlets and 3 transnational media organisations (OBCT, n-ost, Voxeurop) united in a mission to foster a vibrant European public sphere. In two years, over 2,000 stories will be delivered in at least 12 European languages, covering European affairs from new and multiple perspectives. Special attention is paid to underreported countries, regions, and social groups, including rural areas and small-to-medium EU countries.
