As Europe Today gets ready to debut, we look at one of the journalists leading this new Euronews era. Beginning on Monday, Méabh Mc Mahon, one of Euronews' most well-known personalities and a key presence in the Brussels media landscape, will co-anchor the network's new main morning program with Maria Tadeo.
A TV journalist based in Brussels, with over 15 years of professional background, Méabh has covered EU and international issues starting from the Brexit referendum up to the terrorist attacks in Brussels. She has significant experience as a reporter on location and has traveled throughout the continent, from Kyiv to Lisbon, usually carrying only a mobile broadcasting kit.
Being fluent in five languages, she has worked as a live reporter for France24 and later joined Euronews in 2018. She has conducted interviews with world leaders, hosted significant Euronews events, and anchored the popular "Brussels, My Love?" — now a thriving podcast that she will keep hosting as Chief Anchor.
Recognized for her "firm yet fair" approach to questioning and her extensive understanding of European politics, she now offers her keen, confident voice on Europe Today. So, what can audiences anticipate from this new morning show? Let's listen to her.
Méabh, you're returning to morning television. What can we look forward to on Monday from Europe Today?
Anticipate insightful analysis, reliable news updates, and compelling content featuring interesting guests. Being naturally a morning person, you can expect some good humor and lively conversation between me and my outstanding co-host Maria Tadeo. With the ultimatum issued by President Donald Trump to Ukraine, there's a lot on the line next week for one of the most significant moments in Europe's history, a story that we deeply care about at Euronews. We'll strive to clarify everything for our audience.
Besides Europe Today, where else can you find us on Euronews?
You can also find me on Euronews' latest debate program, "The Ring," designed to bring discussions from the European Parliament into your living room. Audiences have already expressed their enthusiasm for this fresh, informative yet engaging approach, making it a delight to be part of the excellent team. Additionally, once a week, I produce and host a podcast version of "Brussels, my love?" — a way to keep you updated on the week's events in European politics. As someone who is deeply concerned about the challenges and risks confronting the EU, I am happy to provide listeners with information through this approachable format.
Which names would you like to appear in Europe Today?
You can anticipate the major European entities that are influencing Europe today to frequently appear on Europe Today. Similar to national TV networks, we will have contributions from Commissioners, prominent MEPs, government ministers, CEOs, and others. Through our global reach across TV, online platforms, and social media, along with the multilingual aspect of this program, there's no faster way to convey a message than through this brand new daily morning show. With so much at stake for the EU currently and its efforts to remain relevant in these unstable times, it's crucial for European leaders to communicate with their constituents and become familiar figures on programs like Europe Today. Having interviewed Anthony Blinken just before the full-scale conflict in Ukraine began, I am keen to speak with Marco Rubio, who has transitioned from a more traditional Republican with a strongly aggressive stance on Russia to the more pragmatic ideological adaptability of President Trump.
