Summary/Abstract: This study analyses some new theoretical achievements and positions with regard to the concept of "European Public Sphere" (EPS). The concept has resulted from the impact of the new European realities with the classical notion of public sphere. The main thesis of the article, based on empirical research in which the author was involved, is that the EU media coverage and the information management system of the European institutions could enhance the emergence of a European public sphere. In this context, the international research project titled Adequate Information Management in Europe (AIM)1 offers a number of fresh insights into the ongoing debate concerning the reporting of Europe and the European public sphere.
