A European website in seven languages, Cafebabel.com, created in 2001, seeks to contribute to “the emergence of a European public opinion.” Publishing on a weekly basis in-depth analysis of news in Europe, the site’s content is written and translated by volunteers and edited by a team of professional journalists. Cafebabel hosts several “Babelblogs” and multilingual “Babelforums” in order to facilitate “paneuropean” debate.
