A word from our team

👀 Our article on the worst EU agencies have struck a cord. Several EU employees have reached out to us, asking about publishing their own articles on our website. We marinated on this topic in the team for a long time and decided to embrace this angle. As part of the drive and in order live up to some form of journalistic integrity, we have published some guidelines for external contributors in this week’s article. What do you, our readers, think? Let us know by email! 🙂 

📰If there is a publicly documented issue you would like us to highlight to all our readers, we’d be grateful for your tip. Simply reply to this email.
