Is there a web site where magazines post requests for freelance
photographers or writers to cover events in Europe?

<There are lot of websites where magazine editors post requests for
freelance writers and photographers to cover events in Europe. I have
included links to some of the best sites.

I have worked in Europe as a freelance writer for over 10 years and
regularly use the internet to find assignments. In my opinion Writers
Weekly is one of the best online resources. It has provided me with a
number of well-paying assignments. The editor of Writer’s Weekly is in
personal contact with publishers including magazine editors who post
details of their latest requirement. You will find all manner of
writing jobs including European assignments. It offers a free
subscription to its weekly updates of markets for writers. There is
also an archive of back issues.

Writers Weekly also has a warnings section which identifies publishers
who fail to pay for completed work. If you are owed money from a
publisher who refuses to pay, Writer Weekly will investigate your case
and post the result on its warnings list. It’s worth checking out
their list before completing an assignment.

An alternative way to find European assignments is to search the
databases of sites listing magazine requirements. It is best to check
directly with the magazine editor that the requirements are still
current as some websites are not regularly updated.

Lots of magazines also post their latest requirements directly on
their own websites. >

Answer seems to be from a knowledgeable person with experience in the
area and gave lots of links.  Have only had time to investigate one of
them but I think this gave me enough to work with and I couldn't have
done it on my own.  This answer possibly merits 5 stars but I am
answering quickly before I forget to do it and before I have checked
other links.
