As Europe Today prepares to launch, we turn to one of the journalists driving this new Euronews chapter. Starting Monday, Méabh Mc Mahon, one of Euronews’ most recognisable faces and a prominent figure in the Brussels media scene, will co-host the network’s new flagship morning show alongside Maria Tadeo.
A Brussels-based TV journalist with more than 15 years of experience, Méabh has reported on the EU and global affairs from the Brexit vote to the Brussels terrorist attacks. She has extensive experience as a field reporter and has travelled across the continent from Kyiv to Lisbon, often with just a mojo kit for broadcasting.
Speaking five languages, she previously served as a live correspondent for France24 before joining Euronews in 2018. She has interviewed global leaders, moderated major Euronews events and anchored the much-loved “Brussels, My Love?” — now a successful podcast she will continue to host as Chief Anchor.
Known for her “firm but fair” questioning and her deep knowledge of European politics, she now brings her sharp, authoritative voice to Europe Today. So, what can viewers expect from this new morning programme? Let’s hear from her.
Méabh, you’re going back to morning television. What can we expect on Monday from Europe Today?
“Expect sharp analysis, trust-worthy news updates and engaging content and guests. As a natural morning person, you can count on good humour too and great banter between myself and my exceptional co-host Maria Tadeo. With the ultimatum set by President Donald Trump for Ukraine, a lot is at stake next week for one of the most important moments in Europe’s history and a story we care deeply about at Euronews. We will try to make sense of it all to our viewers.”
Apart from Europe Today, where else can we find you on Euronews?
“You can also find me on Euronews’ brand new debating show “The Ring” which aims to bring European Parliament debates to your sitting room. Viewers already told us they love this new informative but entertaining format so it is a pleasure to be part of the great team. And once a week, I am producing and hosting a podcast version of “Brussels, my love?” – which can bring you up to speed on the week in European politics. As someone who cares deeply about the challenges and threats facing the EU, I am pleased to be able to keep listeners informed with this friendly format.”
What names do you want to have on Europe Today?
“You can expect the big European players that are shaping Europe today to be regulars on Europe Today. Just like on national TV broadcasters, we will be joined by Commissioners, key MEPs, government ministers, CEOs and more. With our global outreach on TV, online and on social media, and the multi-lingual element of this show, there is no other way to share a message so quickly than on this brand new daily morning show. With so much at stake for the EU now and its attempt to stay relevant in these turbulent times, it is important for European leaders to speak to their voters and become regular faces on shows like Europe Today. Having interviewed Anthony Blinken just before the full scale war in Ukraine started, I am eager to speak to Marco Rubio as he has moved from a more traditional Republican with a very hawkish position on Russia to the more transactional ideological flexibility of President Trump.”
