Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• International Federation of Journalists: Global umbrella federation of journalists with European members. Comparable as a larger, established journalism association focused on press freedom, professional standards, and training, though operating at a broader global scale rather than youth-specific niche.
• European Broadcasting Union: Geneva-headquartered association of public service broadcasters across Europe. Comparable as a large European media organisation delivering cross-border editorial content and training, though serving professional broadcasters rather than EYP's youth-journalist niche.

Direct peers

• European Journalism Centre: Eindhoven-based non-profit focused on journalism training, innovation, and cross-border journalism programmes. Comparable as a European non-profit delivering journalism education, training, and editorial programmes with similar institutional funding model.
• Eurodesk: European youth information network and EYP partner organisation. Comparable as a pan-European network funded by EU programmes that delivers information services, training, and capacity building for young people across 30+ European countries.
• OBESSU: European umbrella organisation for student unions and an EYP partner. Comparable as a pan-European youth network delivering EU-funded programmes (Erasmus+) for capacity building and democratic participation among young people.
• Jugendpresse Deutschland: German member organisation of EYP and one of Europe's largest national youth press associations. Directly comparable as a youth journalism network providing training, editorial platforms, and cross-border exchanges at the national level.
• Radio Študent: Slovenian independent student radio station and EYP member organisation. Comparable as a youth-led European media outlet producing editorial content and providing training for young journalists within the EYP network.
• CORRECTIV: German investigative journalism non-profit that partners with EYP on media literacy and fact-checking initiatives. Comparable as a European non-profit journalism organisation with media literacy programmes and EU/institutional funding.
• European Youth Forum: Umbrella platform for European youth organisations of which EYP is a member. Highly comparable as a pan-European youth network coordinating policy advocacy, capacity building, and EU-funded programme delivery for youth organisations across 20+ countries.

Others

• European Parliamentary Research Service: EU institution providing research and analysis support to the European Parliament. Relevant as an EU institutional stakeholder that funds and consumes youth media perspectives on European affairs - adjacent to EYP's mission rather than a direct competitor.
