An independent newsroom covering the European economy, its industries, its companies and the capital that moves them.
Morning is a European business and economics publication. We exist to explain what is really happening inside Europe's economy — the factories, ports, grids, laboratories and finance ministries that shape the daily lives of half a billion people. Our reporting is written for decision-makers, investors, engineers, economists and, above all, curious readers who want facts rather than noise.
Since launching, Morning has grown from a single daily briefing into a full newsroom with correspondents across the continent. We combine short, sharp news reporting with long-form analysis, data journalism and country-by-country coverage.
Europe is the world's largest single market, its biggest trading bloc and one of its most sophisticated industrial bases. Yet its economic story is often told in fragments — a number here, a headline there. Our mission is to connect those fragments into a coherent picture, so that readers can understand how a Bundesbank statement in Frankfurt, a port in Rotterdam or a chip factory in Dresden fits into a single, interdependent system.
We believe good economic journalism should be accurate, sober and readable. It should quote primary sources, show its data, and separate what is known from what is merely claimed. We do not chase outrage; we chase understanding.
Our coverage spans the whole of the European economy, with particular depth in the areas that drive growth and investment:
Most of our stories begin with data. We work from official statistics, central-bank communications, corporate disclosures, regulatory filings and on-the-record interviews. When we use a figure, we tell you where it comes from and when it was published. When a claim cannot be verified, we say so, rather than presenting it as fact.
Our correspondents are generalists with deep regional knowledge. We favour direct sourcing over aggregation, and we credit the original source whenever we build on another organisation's reporting.
Morning draws on publicly available information from a wide range of institutions, including:
Independence is our most valuable asset. Our editorial decisions are made by journalists alone. Advertising, sponsorship and commercial partnerships never influence what we report or how we report it, and are always clearly labelled.
We correct errors promptly and transparently. If you believe something we have published is inaccurate, please contact our editorial desk — see our Contact Us page — and we will investigate.
Our editors are based in Brussels, with correspondents and contributors reporting from across the continent, including Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Dublin, Amsterdam, Prague, Warsaw and the Nordics. This distribution lets us cover both the headline economies and the smaller markets that are often overlooked.
We collaborate with economists, analysts, academics and freelance journalists who share our standards. We also work with advertisers and partners who want to reach a professional European audience. To discuss any of these, please visit our Contact Us page.
