“Big Bazooka” in headline

journalism has fallen

Kevin has been angry about this for a while, here’s March 2023: https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-launches-eu-passenger-petition/

obligatory These workers in Switzerland commute to work by floating down a river

Hopefully this gives more leverage in keeping the river clean. “Well Mr. Company you can’t dump shit into the river, there are people swimming there”. As the article mentions in Denmark they hoisted red flags during incidents, but it puts at least some more public eyes on the issue.

The primary article is more terse: https://techlog.jenslink.net/posts/dns4eu/#but-lets-look-at-their-product

True. Edited the title to bold the “busted” part

Reading the grant link from the OP - https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/results-2024-call-european-digital-reporting there’s also a second project with ~2M eur which sounds like “Wero for journalism”:

AskEurope The project aims to create a new type of information platform dealing with European affairs, by using innovative formats and forms of distribution. The creation of a database with EU media outlets’ archives, complemented by the integration of an AI-based chatbot, is innovate and will increase the engagement with readers. Available in 7 EU languages, the content has diverse formats, from breaking news, live streams and daily news to in-depth reporting and long investigation.

It entails a consortium is coordinated by Agence France Presse (FR), accompanied by Mediaconnect (FR), Deutsche Welle (DE), France Medias Monde (FR), Radio France Internationale Romania (RO), Druid (RO), Xwiki SAS (FR), Xwiki Software (FR), Deutsche Presse Agentur (DE), News Aktuell (GE), Agenzia Ansa Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata – Società Cooperative (IT), Grupa Radiowa Agory (PL), Ediciones El Pais (ES), Centro Per La Cooperazione Internazional (IT), Fundacion Maldita (ES).

To mods: I know this reads like an ad (because it “is”, but I’m just a reader, I’m not releated to them in any way, I just like what they do). It’s a non-profit granted by the European Commission so I hope it’s ok. Put me in secret CIA jail if not

Hate to be that guy but Euro what, apples, oranges? You can’t join a currency. Did you mean eurozone? You have a degree in journalism right?
