Story

Our entertaining blend of daily news, business and features has made the site essential reading for foreign professionals in Europe.

The Local is the leading media company bringing European news to cosmopolitan millennials. Our high-quality original reporting from nine European countries influences which stories go global, and helps define how those countries are seen internationally.

Our viral English-language content from around Europe breaks down international barriers and gives readers new insights into what makes the continent tick. From our roots as a start-up we now reach 6 million monthly unique visitors and are growing rapidly.

In advertising, our commercial content team has pioneered collaborative native concepts, working closely with clients to find new social ways to reach audiences across national boundaries, always grounded in an understanding of what makes users read and share. Our journalists have worked in places including the BBC, the Jerusalem Post and the Telegraph.

Here on Facebook we invite our readers to engage with us, discuss what's happening in the countries of Europe and share their thoughts about life there.

Each of our nine country sites also has its own Facebook page.
