The NEWS WORLD is run by men, the Newsmavens is run by women.

In European newsrooms, women occupy only about 27% of top management roles. At the same time, coverage of European affairs has become increasingly dominated by English-speaking countries. NEWSMAVENS was created to challenge both trends—by curating news from every EU country through the lens of underrepresented female voices.

Their mission is bold: to answer pressing questions that mainstream media often overlooks. Does gender imbalance in newsroom leadership shape the narrative of modern Europe? Can carefully selected, thoughtfully justified news recommendations spark global interest? And perhaps most provocatively: could collaboration become the next big disruption in the news industry?

We don’t know. Yet.

What we do know is that NEWSMAVENS delivers a daily roundup of Europe’s most important headlines and a weekend digest of the stories that matter most. Occasionally, they spotlight influential women from around the world, inviting them to share the stories they believe deserve attention.

These are brave, brilliant journalists already driving change.

Take Hungarian journalist Ivett Korosi, for example. In her 2017 piece on human rights, she wrote: “Reading the Declaration of Human Rights today is like getting slapped in the face. We have drifted dangerously far from that ideal. Can we stop mankind from repeating its gravest mistakes?”

In these pivotal times when journalism wrestles with its own credibility crisis and public trust continues to erode, collaboration among writers and reporters is not just valuable, it’s vital.

Of all the illusions surrounding journalism, gender equality probably remains one of the most misleading.

With NEWSMAVENS, women choose the news—and set a different agenda.
