During the Cold War, the Internet offered magazines a lifeline to remain independent. At a time when online publishing was hotly contested, a group of people came together and took a leap of faith. After a series of conferences, the Eurozine network was founded in 1998. Today, with over 100 partner journals across Europe, one goal remains: to become a starting point for European debate. Now that English is the lingua franca and multimedia is the norm, the battle for space continues. Guests: Judith Vidal-Hall is a member of the Eurozine Advisory Board and was recently appointed to the board of Centre Librexpression. She is a former editor of the free-expression journal Index on Censorship. Andrea Fredriksson-Zederbauer is co-editor of the Eurozine partner journal Wespennest and a translator from Swedish. Carl Henrik Fredriksson is a Swedish literary critic, columnist, essayist and translator based in Vienna. He was the first editor-in-chief of Eurozine from 1998 to 2015 and was previously editor-in-chief of the Swedish partner magazine Ord&Bild. Walter Famler is a publisher, harmonium player and general secretary of the Alte Schmiede Kunstverein in Vienna. He was one of the founders of Eurozine and has been the editor of Eurozine’s founding partner magazine Wespennest for many years.
