Johnson Appointed to Brussels Bureau

In early 1989, Johnson was appointed to the Brussels bureau of a prominent newspaper, where he focused on reporting about the European Commission. His tenure in this role lasted until 1994, during which he became known for his Eurosceptic stance. This position allowed him to cover various aspects of European politics and policy-making, providing insights into the workings of the European Union. Johnson's reporting included a critical examination of what he termed 'euromyths,' which are misconceptions or exaggerated claims about the European Union and its regulations. His work contributed to the public discourse surrounding the EU, often challenging the prevailing narratives presented by other media outlets. Johnson's perspective resonated with a segment of the audience that was skeptical of European integration, and his articles sparked discussions about the implications of EU policies on member states and their citizens.
