Euroblogs in the "New Europe" weekly newspaper
I just wanted to use the opportunity to thank the editors of "New Europe" for printing euroblog articles in their weekly newspaper and for linking them on their front page.
I had the pleasure to appear twice over the last two weeks (see page 22 of the issues 559 & 560), first with my post "10 steps to becoming a Euroblogger" and this week with last Friday's article "A European Blog Action against a Commission without gender balance" that became reality quicker than I expected with the campaign for a "Gender Balanced Commission". But it is as much a pleasure to find my own texts published as it is to read the texts of other bloggers, seeing our content distributed in a new way and incorporated into editorial content.
What I particularly like with the blog section in New Europe is that it connects the world of blogging with the readers of classical newspapers, that it brings our texts from the widths of the net into the limited space of physical paper.
They, the editors, still keep their editorial control, they make the choices they would like to make for their readers, but we, the bloggers, do not have to change our style or rhythm, we don't have to follow editorial rules: They like it, they take it - if not, it's still online in our blogs...
I appreciate this a lot, and I can only commend the New Europe team for taking this step to link from the "real world" to us, the euroblogosphere - a different kind of hyperlink story.

An interesting interview by New Europe TV with the head of the Dutch Christian Democratic list for the EP elections 2009, Wim van de Camp, at the EPP Congress in Warsaw.
Mr van de Camp explains what he thinks should be to role of the European Union compared to the tasks of the nation state and tell why he decides to run for the European Parliament after a long career in the Dutch national parliament:

New Europe: The future of the EU blogosphere is dark
New Europe has published an article titled "The future of the EU blogosphere".
Under the headline "The Essence" the author tells us:
Under the headline "The Essence" the author tells us:
My fear for the EU blogosphere is that it will be taken over by commercial and political interests.I might say: This could be the case, but those of us blogging for individual reasons and from an all-European perspective should try to unmask those interests as far as possible. And I am quite hopeful that we will be able to do this.

The banner - or: Nothing else to write about
What do you do when you are living in Brussels, being the editor of a European news magazine, and you write your editor's note:
You complain about... banners!
It seems as if there are no bigger problems in Brussels than the European Union putting up banners that inform about unimportant events. That's great.
It is not that I do not agree with the substance, but as an editor of an all-European magazine you can do much better than to find a topic that is 100% unimportant for anyone outside Brussels, a nice little city far away from reality.
But maybe this is also the reason why you write such irrelevant editor's notes...

New Europe: A European weekly
There is quite an interesting project out there: "New Europe" is an English-language European weekly newspaper with lots of articles and lots of photos.
It exists since 1993, but I didn't notice it until very recently. In the present issue, the editor notes about the European blogosphere:
The newspaper itself covers a variety of national and international European news, and it is especially nice to see quite many pictures decorating the articles. Through these, Europe could get more (known) faces and more visibility, and I applaud for this work.
If you want to read the present issue, you can download it as PDF (attention: 4.70 MB!). This issue even covers the discussion around the forbidden England Expects blog.

The EU blogosphere is growing rapidly. There are many blogs going deeply into EU affairs, and even more which skim the surface. Some are serious carrying credibility; some acting as a venting mechanism or humorous outlet. Some support Europe, and others are more anti-Europe.We feel flattered! Blush!
I find EU blogs a precious gem in the crown of the media.
