The hundred journalists and forty correspondents from Arte intend to cover the European elections through five axes: migration, climate, war, economy and identity. “We want to go further than our European offer and take a further step to reach the European public,” affirmed Bruno Patino during a press conference on March 28. Renée Kaplan, director of comprehensive information: “we are going to focus above all on digital to seek out this new audience”. From May 15, viewers can find the new program “Europe in the eye of the storm” on the Arte.tv platform and on YouTube. Directed by David Tabourier, the show offers six 30-minute interviews conducted by Nora Hamadi with great European thinkers such as Arancha Gonzalez Laya. A series of portraits, reports and documentaries is also on the menu such as “At the heart of European diplomacy” by Albert Solé. In addition, Arte provides weekly and daily coverage of the elections. Evenings are planned: April 9 is dedicated to the issues of the elections without political guests and June 9 is dedicated to election evening with various experts and cultural personalities. On the air, “we invite deputies from all countries to cross borders,” explains Cécile Ollivier, Director of Information. Arte is also committed to making the voices of European citizens heard through a survey carried out by BVA in the 27 member countries of the Union. These results on the “concerns” of residents will be revealed on the channels of Arte and its network of European partners, including El Pais, Le Soir and Telex.
