In the editorial article, the editor-in-chief of EBR, N. Peter Kramer highlights that “In a ‘constructive’ Brexit spirit May repeats: Better no deal than a bad deal”.

Mr. Lefteris Kretsos, Secretary General for Media and Communication of the relative Ministry of Digital Policy of the Hellenic Republic states in an exclusive interview at EBR that Greece is preparing to enter the global movie business in 2018. Another interesting interview is that one of the Ambassador Dr. Harry Tseng who appeared to be optimistic about a Taiwan – EU bilateral investment agreement during his conversation with N. Peter Kramer.
Touching the global issues, Mr. Uri Dromi, director general of the Jerusalem Press Club writes on leadership and media: “Some leaders wrestle with news media better than other leaders”. Mr. Dirk Helbing writes on “Upgrading today’s capitalism and Mr. Hans Izaak Kriek, international political commentator, journalist of EBR and editor-in-chief of Kriek Media expresses his view on the new book of Hilary Clinton. Last but not least, Mr. Radu Magdin, international analyst, reveals “5 commandments for tycoons and other power players in a shifting world order”.
