EU Reporter is a Brussels-based news website publishing content relating to the European Union, founded in 2002.[2]

In the 2000s a printed magazine edition was available for subscription,[3] and distributed free to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and EU Council and Commission officials.[4][5] In 2009 its target readership was stated to be elected representatives, large and small business leaders, and commentators about the EU.[6]

In 2010 it was taken over by Colin Stevens. It had previously been owned by publisher Chris White[7] who continued writing for EU Reporter as a guest contributor.[8]

In 2021 its content was described by Politico.eu as a "blend of corporate press releases, original news and paid-for content". Some of the website's sponsored content is native advertising intended to look like a news article, without disclosing the sponsor.[9] [disputeddiscuss] It was noted for paraphrasing Huawei press releases and publishing them as news articles.[10][11] EU Reporter rejected the accusation of undercover lobbying, characterising the reporting as "an attack by Politico Europe on a smaller but successful rival publication," and mentioning that they have engaged with NewsGuard to monitor their output and make its findings publicly available.[12]
