Eurotopics is a European news aggregator established in 2005 by the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, a German federal agency for civic education. The platform operates as a daily press review that synthesizes commentary from across the continent, aiming to reflect the diversity of European public opinion on political, economic, and social issues.
The organization maintains a correspondent network spanning over 30 European countries, including EU member states, the United Kingdom, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, and Turkey. Its press review surveys opinion pieces from approximately 500 print and online media outlets, identifying key debates and editorial positions. The content is available in five languages—German, English, French, Russian, and Turkish—accessible both online and through free email subscriptions.
Since May 2008, the Network for Reporting on Eastern Europe, known as n-ost, has produced the press review. Beyond daily coverage, Eurotopics maintains a comprehensive media database documenting over 500 publications across more than 30 countries, providing information about political orientations, publishers, and circulation figures alongside detailed descriptions of European media landscapes.
The platform's stated objective centers on fostering a European public sphere by making editorial perspectives from different nations accessible to a broader audience. Rather than simply aggregating headlines, Eurotopics emphasizes interpretive journalism—highlighting what European newspapers and magazines are discussing and debating. The organization was nominated for the Grimme Online Award in the "Information" category in 2009, recognition of its contribution to informed public discourse across Europe's fragmented media environment.
