PULSE: Europe beyond the beat

PULSE – Europe beyond the beat is a cross-border journalistic initiative embracing a collaborative approach to editorial production. It brings together 10 prominent national media outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EFSYN – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, Hotnews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and 3 transnational media organisations (OBCT, n-ost, Voxeurop) united in a mission to foster a vibrant European public sphere.

Within PULSE, the Collaborative Desk is a sort of virtual European newsroom producing and distributing journalistic content about European affairs on a daily basis. An additional layer of Associated newsrooms contribute to the Desk’s production, covering essentially every European country. In two years, over 2,000 stories will be delivered, including in-depth articles in different formats and at least 12 different European languages. Special attention is paid to underreported countries, regions, and social groups, including rural areas and small-to-medium EU countries.

PULSE’ also includes 4 Thematic Networks – open to any journalists to join – that focus on crucial topics such as the Enlargement of the EU; Europe and global powers dynamics; the EU’s green transition; media and information society.

They offer to European journalists the opportunity to exchange ideas and tips, share insightful resources or questions, gain access to interesting materials for new pieces, and find co-authors or partners in other countries.
