@Sunshine maybe euractiv ?

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/ Le Monde has really good articles in English.

In Denmark you have https://www.zetland.dk/ for written news that they also record with voice in their own studio with very high quality. They focus on quality over quantity.

For news happening on the top levels of the EU:

  • Euractiv - independent media network with correspondents/branches in nearly all european countries
  • EU Observer - independent
  • politico.eu - co-owned by Politico US and Axel Springer, therefore I'd be a bit wary of them even though their articles usually are ok

I watch tldr news on nebula. I am aware that they get income from advertising on youtube so they aren't fully independent. However, I find that they provide good quality news nonetheless. And they do get some revenue from nebula so I expect that they are not fully dependent on youtube

That's not what they mean by « independent », don't worry :)

Very Finland centric, but the national broadcasting company of Finland is pretty good and has news in English: https://yle.fi/news

Nice, a new source for me to check out!

I'd say everything the German ÖRR (public service broadcasting) has to offer. Often they have a version in English. Don't know if you can access the online content from outside of Germany though.

For the french of course ARTE but they probably already know about that :-)

Channel 4 news here in the UK is also top quality.

The 2 that I know of are the BBC and Kyiv Independent.
