Euractiv is a European news website focused on EU policies, founded in 1999 by the French media publisher Christophe Leclercq. Its headquarters and central editorial staff are located in Brussels, with other offices in Paris and Berlin. Its content is produced by about 50 journalists staffed in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
Euractiv has diversified sources of funding, as the company seeks private and public revenues to run its business. In 2019, about a fifth of Euractiv's income came from public sources, including the EU.
In May 2023, Euractiv was acquired by Belgian media company Mediahuis in what became the company's first international media platform acquisition.
In 2022, a study conducted by the Council of the European Union ranked Euractiv second on the list of the most influential media outlets among Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
Euractiv's reporting is regularly quoted by international newspapers such as The New York Times, The Financial Times, CNN, le Figaro, Le Point and Il Post.
