Ownership and limits

The editorial independence of Euronews has been debated in the press since the change of ownership, and the move to Brussels led to job cuts in Lyon. For depth on EU policy, specialised outlets such as Euractiv go further, while Euronews covers the broader picture for a wide audience.
