Mission
“It’s the bit that Europe’s founding fathers left out. We are building a great new edifice of freedom without a free press, which mirrors and shadows that growth. This has to be ground up, built on individual contacts and individual enthusiasms. We have to start building our own public opinion, and the moment is now.”
Peter Preston (2005)
What ESNA stands for:
Objectivity
ESNA is an independent journalistic observer and publisher of objective information. We act as an impartial, informed and balanced mediator between the European higher education community, policy makers in EU and national government, and the wider media. Our services overcome language barriers and promote understanding and communication, diversity and respect.
Expertise
Our international team of highly qualified editors, experienced freelancers and young correspondents work closely with our network of researchers and experts within the field, to provide a balanced, insightful and informed service.
Specializing solely in Higher Education news enables our team of skilled journalists to focus and ensure the most significant developments, often over-looked by the mass media, are teased out and brought to the attention of our subscribers.
European identity
Aware of Europe’s rich history and the ties that inevitably bind it, ESNA seeks to bring the news of it’s knowledge systems to those forging and securing it’s future.
The ESNA vision is “openness to the world” and the promotion of unity and diversity in a multicultural space.
Based in Berlin, ESNA works with a team of correspondents across Europe, to mediate the most significant developments within European Higher Education.
History
1999 LETSWORK Zeitung für studentische Arbeit
- The future founder of ESNA, Tino Brömme, starts “LETSWORK Journal for student work” for the student labour agency TUSMA in Berlin and provides 20.000 international students with news and advice on jobs and labour law.
- Leaving the student organisation, LETSWORK evolves and becomes WORK|OUT European Students’ Review. With 50.000 copies it becomes the largest student paper of Europe. Seven years a collective of students, lecturers and artists produces and distributes the free multilingual news quarterly in university cities of Germany, Italy, France and Spain.
Twice, in 2004 and 2005, WORK|OUT wins the national award for innovative contents and solutions in the print and multimedia sector Premio Palinsesto Italia. The jury appreciates “the editorial structure organised as a network” and praises the “valid example of a Europe-wide distribution” to “promote the European identity and encourage cultural criticism.”
WORK|OUT Archive
- As an offshoot of the journal, the web portal “EFORS.eu – Europe for Students” arises and becomes an independent successful enterprise. EFORS.eu was one of the most visited websites by young mobile Europeans and a close partner of ESNA.
- As persons, networks and competences ripened, a new professional channel was needed. So the core group of WORK|OUT founded ESNA, the first press agency, expert network and news publisher focussed on European science and higher education policy.
2015 ESNA Media
- In order to cover research and policy conferences or debates with experts, the ESNA news team engages in this new working field of of video and podcast. The ESNA journalistic and publishing experience adds to the professional film production capacity of iLIKE.media, messeTV and startupTV in Berlin as well as Caucaso Factory in Bologna.
