Eurovision News Podcast: How the News Gets Made.
Have you ever wondered what it really takes to get the story from a warzone or a world leaders’ summit to your screen?
The Eurovision News Podcast explores how public service media organizations across Europe and beyond cover major news events.
In Season 2, Giles Gibson - Eurovision News Field Producer and former foreign correspondent - takes you behind the scenes of the world's biggest stories.
Listen in to learn first hand from journalists about the challenges they face covering global news -from major conflicts to critical climate negotiations in Brazil.
This is how the news really gets made.
The Eurovision News Podcast is back for a new season, taking you behind the scenes of the world’s biggest stories – and how public service media report on them.
This summer, a twist of fate took Swedish Radio’s Moa Kärnstrand to Nepal to cover the aftermath of the sudden, deadly flood at the border with Tibet. Meanwhile, Juan Coca of Spain’s National Radio coordinated the broadcaster’s coverage of the wildfires that encroached on the capital.
As climate change becomes increasingly politicised, host Giles Gibson hears how and when reporters grapple with the context behind extreme weather and disasters.

What does the future hold for journalism in Gaza?
To mark World Press Freedom Day for 2026, the European Broadcasting Union brought together reporters, NGO workers, security experts and others for a conference in Geneva.
Palestinian journalists described the challenges they face on a daily basis, including covering war when your family is also at risk.
In the final episode of Season 2, we also hear about how the United Nations is trying to “humanise” the “statistics of human suffering” in relation to Gaza and other crises around the world.
According to the International Federation of Journalists, more than 260 journalists and media workers have been killed in the enclave since the start of the war in Gaza in 2023.
