Cafebabel: Successful Citizen Journalism in practice.

On February 1st, CaféBabel the first multilingual European magazine,celebrated its 5 years with a new language published, polish which is the 7th along with english, french, spanish, german, italian and catalan.

Created in 2001 by a group of Erasmus and French students at the Institute of Political Science in Strasbourg, cafebabel.com very quickly evolved into a European wide network of journalists and translators.

Cafebabel.com relies on the idea of "citizen journalism" with a specificity : all contributions are free and open to anyone that wishes to write, but all articles are edited by a team of professional journalists based in Paris.

café babel counts 22 editorial offices in 14 European countries and a network of over 350 young journalists and translators and is read by over 140.000 readers per month, with over 800.000 pages viewed.
