Euronews has had a new editorial director for the past 3 weeks and he comes from Axel Springer’s German tabloid Bild.

Quote via Politico (ironically—owned by Springer):

“Strunz declarations on Twitter are worrying because this is not what you’d expect from the boss of Euronews, especially when he applauds [far right German party] AfD results as a sign of functioning democracy,” src

After Trump’s victory, Euronews shared, uncommented, a congratulations video from Orbán to Trump on its Instagram feed.

There is now an open letter from the Union representatives voicing concern about the staff’s journalistic freedoms (in French).

    Arte does have some English, Spanish, Polish, and Italian stuff but it’s quite limited and generally only subtitles. Other languages if they happened to have bought it from somewhere else, say a documentary about Kafka where you can select the original Czech audio. News won’t be among the English subtitled stuff but there’s a good amount of documentaries, background and big-picture stuff. Not just society and politics, all kinds of topics.

    Just go browse. And, separately, a metric fuckton of live concerts from all genres.
