Presentation
New Europe claims to maintain an independent stance regarding the affairs of the European Union (EU), claiming to have no political affiliation. The majority of the paper's articles cover the day-to-day business of EU policy making, and relations of EU with other actors. There is also an editorial and an opinion section. Each week, the print edition is between 24 and 48 pages for 66.000 copies according to the paper.
The paper also has a section entitled Kassandra which reports on cases of maladministration and wrongdoings around Europe, but mainly within the EU institutions . Kassandra features on the back page of the print edition and online.
Web-only material includes video interviews, news articles, and commentaries, sometimes longer and of a broader European character than the opinion pieces within the newspaper. Photo slideshows, and videos are also featured.
New Europe publishes an annual Our World Edition since 2012. The 2016 edition featured 80 personalities with commentaries about the year ahead. These included Jean-Claude Juncker, Thorbjørn Jagland, Dimitris Avramopoulos, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Benigno S.
