Eurovision News
Providing world-class content wherever there's a major news story
About
Eurovision News offers editorial and broadcast services to EBU Members, Associated Members, Approved Participants and Sublicensees. It is a unique network, founded by European public service media newsrooms, which today operates in more than 50 countries.
Its core activity, the News Exchange allows the sharing between Members of live and edited news actualities; provides global coverage through access to third-party content; includes verification and clearance of social media content; enables digital news recommendation and monitoring tools; and provides an exchange of podcasts and audio-only material.
In the field, Eurovision News Events offers broadcast facilities and exclusive content, as well as local and global content distribution.
Eurovision News is also a community, bringing together journalists and newsroom leaders from across the Membership to promote and share best practices in the face of common challenges.

We ensure your newsroom always has access to a rich diversity of news items - around 120 every day - provided by trustworthy, reliable sources. And just as importantly, newsrooms have the opportunity to develop strong relationships with each other to share knowledge and content.
