I see plenty of links to Euronews in this community. Just want to remind you all that Euronews is linked to the Hungarian government and Viktor Orbán. Consider that before you post something.

I found some details here: https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/funds-linked-to-hungary-pm-orban-were-used-in-euronews-takeover-says-report
The paywalled Le Monde article cited as a source above: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2024/04/11/orban-s-shadow-looms-over-euronews-takeover_6668144_19.html
Le Monde conducted a joint investigation with VSquare, Direkt36 and Espresso. Here is the unpaywalled/archived report by Vsquare.
Who owns LeMonde?
75% by media companies, divided into about 4 big owners,
25% by an independence pole made of their journalists, employees and readers.
The independence pole has the right to approve changes of shareholders.
The editors-in-chief of the different mediae of Le Monde Group are elected by the employees of the media.
The two last points provide an uncommon independence to Le Monde journalists compared to other big news sources.
