EU dailies in 10 Languages

Via Crossroads magazine, as part of the news section, an article titled New Portal to Translate EU Dailies Into 10 Languages, features a new website attempting to have all citizens of EU to read the same thing.
A new website launched Tuesday (26 May) aims to get EU citizens across the 27 member states talking and reading about the same issues, something that to date has been hindered by language barriers. With EUR 3m of European Commission funds a year and a team of 10 journalists, www.presseurop.eu is part of the EU’s drive to create a ‘European public sphere.’

Among the languages are: Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish. Especially for those who are into international comparative research, staying on the top of the current news might be helpful.
