Criticism and controversy

In a study conducted by Gallup Europe in 2004, respondents described EuroNews as "boring" as well as "monotonous, slow, repetitive" and criticised the scarcity of breaking news coverage on the channel.
Russian press repeatedly noted differences in Russian version of EuroNews coverage from the other language versions, perceived as suspicious due to the widespread misconception of EuroNews being primarily English-language channel allegedly "mistranslated" in Moscow. Textual differences are only noticed with close inspection of stories sensitive for the Russian audience, despite being necessarily present in all news items of all the language versions. Being the only international news channel available in Russian, EuroNews is closely monitored by partisan media, with all parties habitually criticizing the outlet for allegedly biased coverage in favor of the opposite side.
EuroNews is partially funded by the European Commission, which has on occasion raised questions about its ability to report impartially on politically sensitive issues.
