EU Proposes Influencer Access to Brussels Summits: A Controversial Move

The European Union is considering a pilot scheme to invite social media influencers to cover ministers meetings and leaders summits in Brussels. The proposal, floated by the Council of the EU, would grant influencers access to press rooms and doorstep areas typically reserved for accredited journalists. However, they would not be allowed to ask questions to ministers or leaders. The idea has received mixed reactions, with some countries open to the trial and others expressing concerns about ethics and transparency. The European Commission has already shown support, with President Ursula von der Leyen engaging with influencers and sending them promotional materials. The decision lies with the countries, so stay tuned for potential viral content from EU summits.
