What Euronews does

Euronews is a privately held French international news broadcaster operating as a Société Anonyme (public limited liability company) headquartered in Lyon, France. Founded in 1993, the company produces and distributes editorial content across 19 language editions — English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Greek, Hungarian, Persian/Farsi, Arabic, Albanian, Romanian, Georgian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian — reaching over 400 million households across 160 countries through live TV broadcast, a website, native iOS and Android applications, social media, video platforms (YouTube, Dailymotion, JW Player), podcasts, and email newsletters. The product surface spans a core news platform plus a portfolio of programme sub-brands organized into verticals including EU policy (Europe Today, The Ring, The Europe Conversation), business (Business Planet, Energy Frontiers, Real Economy, Target), travel (Grand Voyager, Modern Nomads, Conscious Travel, Travel Live TV), technology and science (Euronews Tech Talks, Sci-Tech, The Food Detectives), culture, climate (Water Matters, Climate Now, Ocean, The Road To Green), and health (Smart Health). Africanews operates as a wholly-owned sister brand extending reach to 22 million households in Sub-Saharan Africa. The company employs 501-1000 staff across approximately 20 bureau locations in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Euronews operates a hybrid consumer-and-commercial business model. Consumer access is free and ad-funded, with revenue generated through programmatic and direct advertising on web, mobile, and live TV inventory, complemented by consent-based identity resolution (Equativ, Liveramp, ID5) and ad-blocker recovery (Ad-Shield). B2B commercial services include branded content partnerships and sponsored programming with national tourism boards (Saudi Tourism Authority, Japan JNTO, Italy ENIT, Polish Tourism Organisation, Costa Rica PROCOMER, Abu Dhabi Tourism DCT) and corporate sponsors (Intel, Iberdrola, Embratur), content licensing and syndication (including automotive infotainment via 3SS's 3Ready Content Bundle reaching 70M+ users), live events and debates (EU Enlargement Summit, Doha co-productions with Media City Qatar), and Euronews Insights B2B research surveys. Underlying technology relies on a content management system supporting 19 language editions, third-party martech and identity stacks, an OpenAI-based comment moderation pipeline, and Audioboost-powered audio articles. The company holds GDPR, CCPA, and cookie-consent compliance frameworks, with an active 2025-2027 multi-year plan to close gaps against the French RGAA 4.1.2 digital accessibility standard.
