Contexte is an independent media outlet (employee-owned with a subscription-only model). Our mission is to provide public affairs professionals with the most useful information to make decisions.

The company has been growing rapidly since its launch in 2013. Today, we are a team of 110, including 35 journalists in Paris and 17 in Brussels.

Our political news is delivered every morning to the inbox of 14,000 subscribers working in NGOs, private companies, public services and administrations, consulting and law firms.

We cover policies in the energy, transportation, agri-food, environmental, health, e-health, tech and media sectors. We also lift the hood on how government and administrations exercise political power and how lobbyists develop their influencing strategies.

Until now, we’ve delivered expert insights to policy professionals navigating legislation impacting France, whether made at national or EU level, through 9 FR verticals.

Our vision is to create a truly European newsroom, where French and English-speaking journalists work closely together to provide timely and relevant coverage of EU policies. Our newsroom is structured to foster cross-language collaboration for in-depth reporting.

Regarding this first EU vertical dedicated to energy policies coverage is structured to avoid duplication and maximize expertise between the FR and the EU product.
