The Financial Times, EUobserver and Reuters are the three most used news sources (in that order) for journalists working with EU related news, according to a survey published on 8 May 2008 by APCO consultants in partnership with Journalists@Your Service.
The survey was conducted via e-mail to 1,614 journalists in Brussels and elsewhere covering European affairs, with a response rate of 7.5%.
Journalists are often busy people, according to the survey, with 42% of them expected to produce one or more stories per day. Two thirds (68%) said PR people do not understand their needs.
