The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is an award-winning international think-tank that aims to conduct cutting-edge independent research on European foreign and security policy and to provide a safe meeting space for decision-makers, activists and influencers to share ideas. We build coalitions for change at the European level and promote informed debate about Europe’s role in the world.
In 2007, ECFR’s founders set about creating a pan-European institution that could combine establishment credibility with intellectual insurgency. Today, ECFR remains uniquely placed to continue providing a pan-European perspective on some of the biggest strategic challenges and choices Europeans need to confront, with a network of offices in seven European capitals, over 60 staff from more than 25 different countries and a team of associated researchers in the EU 28 member states.
All media organizations are reporting from their own world view. Some call this political alignment, some editorial leaning and, and some media bias. We call them Narratives.
Sites are mainly promoting views with Moderate or Liberal political alignment. They usually support the local Establishment with the exception of Trump. Yet, on a geopolitical level they are usually supporting the Western Coalition.
We’ve done research on who owns or funds the site so you can learn easier about possible funding bias or conflicts of interests.
a private foundation set up by an individual, family or an institute
governments and entities, such as European Union
a person who is either a public figure or who has otherwise influence in society
The reason we show relations to CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission and Chatham House is because there was a study made by Swiss Propaganda Research. They found out that many western news media have relations to those organizations.
