The Brussels Beat: Henry Foy on Covering Europe's Capital (Pt. 2)

Brussels journalism's openness and English-language dominance could erode if more Orban-style, veto-wielding Eurosceptic governments gain power in EU states.

• Brussels as an open city: Henry Foy says every meeting involves 27-country delegations, so officials not directly affected happily leak what happened in other rooms, making Brussels fertile ground for reporters.
• FT's editorial filter: Foy says FT readers are 'rich but time poor,' so his team writes one story a month on a topic like the MFF only when it's 'ripe' and affects portfolios or geopolitics, avoiding raw document dumps.
