On February 9th 2010, the International Press Association wrote an article titled "Brussels deserves its watchdogs".  The article refers to the dangerously decreasing number of journalists based in Brussels. In Brussels, there are now less than 900 journalists compared to 38 000 civil servants working at the European Commission, around 15 000 lobbyists and 751 Member of the European Parliament. Democracy is therefore at risk! Sadly, this slow disappearance of Brussels-based correspondents is not compensated enough by national coverage of the European Union.
