ENTR is a digital media platform launched in 2023 by France Médias Monde, the parent company of France 24, in partnership with Deutsche Welle, Germany's public broadcaster. Newsrooms in Poland, Romania, and Portugal contribute content, targeting Europeans aged 18 to 34 with multimedia formats including videos, podcasts, and interactive stories. Operating remotely across the EU, it focuses on topics relevant to young adults, such as career challenges, urban mobility, mental health, climate impacts, and cross-border relationships.
The initiative emerged amid rising remote work trends in Europe, where 53 percent of enterprises with at least 10 employees held internet-based meetings in 2024, up from 50 percent in 2022, according to EU statistics. Large firms led adoption, with 92 percent providing full remote access to email, documents, and software. ENTR taps into this shift by delivering content asynchronously, bypassing traditional schedules.
Current projects include series on navigating freelance gigs in gig economies, explorations of sustainable living in cities like Lisbon and Warsaw, and discussions on EU-wide youth mobility post-pandemic. With contributions from over 20 journalists, it produces 15 pieces weekly in multiple languages, emphasizing ground-level reporting from remote contributors. As a project rather than a permanent entity, ENTR reflects public broadcasters' pivot to digital natives, filling gaps left by fragmented national media. Its scope spans journalism, cultural analysis, and civic engagement, without commercial advertising.
