Map of the Atlantic

This blog focuses on how the European media cover the United States and the narrower field of how the U.S. media cover Europe. The aim is not so much to report news as to illustrate the different journalistic approaches on either side of the Atlantic and among the various European countries, as well to highlight European views of the United States and U.S. views of Europe.

This blog has recently been relaunched following a redesign of the Web site of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The blog is published under the auspices of the CSIS Transatlantic Media Network (TMN), but comments it contains do not reflect policies either of CSIS, which is bipartisan and does not take policy positions, or of the TMN.

The blog is also part of the World Affairs Blog Network of the Foreign Policy Association.
