A traveler found the journey from Brussels South Airport to the city center to be a long trip, realizing the airport is located about 60 kilometers from the center. While this is not unique, other European airports like Frankfurt-Hahn and Stockholm-Skavsta are also quite distant from their respective city centers. Second airports are often used by budget airlines to cut costs, sometimes making the total travel cost for the passenger higher than the ticket savings. In Lithuania, Vilnius Airport is well-connected to the city center via public transport, and Kaunas Airport is also accessible by public transport, though travel times can be comparable to journeys from more distant European airports. Palanga Airport offers good connectivity through various transport options. In Italy, Milan Malpensa Airport is 46 kilometers from the city center and relies on a slow local train, while Milan Bergamo Airport lacks rail connection, requiring bus services. Milan Linate Airport is notable as the only Italian airport connected to the city’s metro system.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
