LensEU (Localised European News Service) is an innovative European media project bringing together eight leading news organisations to make European issues more tangible, understandable and relevant for citizens across the continent.

Every week, lensEU publishes a podcast (on Tuesdays) and a newsletter (on Fridays) exploring topics that directly affect everyday life, from housing and the green transition to inflation and disinformation. These stories are produced and distributed in five languages.
 

Content is created in English and then adapted into German, Polish, Latvian and Croatian, giving audiences across Europe access to a shared perspective on the same topic in their own language. To ensure a genuinely pan-European approach, editorial leadership rotates among the project partners, with each organisation taking the lead on different topics.

Co-funded by the European Union and running until spring 2028, lensEU will produce more than 300 pieces of content over two years. All podcasts and newsletters are available free of charge via The Audio Marketplace website and through the partners’ own platforms.
