Contexte

https://www.contexte.com

Founded in 2013, Contexte is a digital native media organisation which aims to address a perceived gap between the reality of places of power, and their coverage by the media.

This subscription-based media outlet, aimed at public policy professionals, seeks to bring transparency to the law-making process. It aims to provide an expert and neutral account of the political decision-making process, particularly political decisions that may have an impact on France. Its journalists are based in Paris and Brussels, and the outlet also has correspondents in Berlin, Washington and Beijing.

Contexte decrypts the reality of power relations by providing information on these main themes: power (generalist vertical) and power struggles, as well as sectorial themes: energy, digital, transport, health, environment and agribusiness.
