The EU Reporter, founded in 2008 by UK journalist Colin Stevens, is a Brussels-based news website covering European Union affairs, politics, economics, environmental issues, and popular culture. The outlet publishes in all European Union languages and has a social media presence on X and Facebook. In September 2015, Stevens traveled to China to meet Liu Yunshan (劉雲山), a senior official in the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda department, and signed a content-sharing agreement with the People’s Daily (人民日報), the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party. In 2025, at the Silk Road Global News Awards, a journalism award ceremony organized by the People’s Daily and the Belt and Road News Network, Stevens received the “Best Reporting Award” for an article he wrote on the Belt and Road Initiative and China-EU ties.
