The Greece media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Greece's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. The 6 titles tracked here span the spectrum — 1 we place on the left, 4 near the centre and 1 on the right — so a comparison can genuinely cross editorial lines rather than sampling one side twice.
By kind of outlet, the 6 titles break down as 3 daily newspapers (Kathimerini, eKathimerini and EfSyn), 1 business daily (Naftemporiki), 1 news portal (Protothema) and 1 public broadcaster (ERTnews). The public-service broadcaster is ERTnews — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.
Greece sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 4th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 16th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country.

Which are Greece's main news outlets?
Across Greece's editorial spectrum, Crosswire currently lists on the left, EfSyn; near the center, Naftemporiki, Protothema, eKathimerini and ERTnews; on the right, Kathimerini. Each outlet below links to a full profile — its facts, editorial leaning and a live front-page preview — and the comparison view above shows any of them side by side.
Kathimerini is a long-established Greek daily newspaper based in Athens, widely regarded as a quality title. It covers national and international politics, economics, and culture, and is generally seen as centre-right in its editorial orientation. It is one of Greece's most influential newspapers.
Naftemporiki is a Greek financial and business newspaper based in Athens. It focuses on economics, markets, shipping, and corporate news, serving a readership of professionals and investors. It is among Greece's principal sources of business journalism.
Protothema is a major Greek news outlet, published in Greek and operating both as a weekly newspaper and a high-traffic news website. It covers politics, business, sport and entertainment for a broad general audience. Protothema ranks among the most-visited news portals in Greece and is a prominent source of breaking news and commentary in the country.
eKathimerini is the English-language edition of Kathimerini, one of Greece's leading daily newspapers. It provides coverage of Greek and Cypriot politics, economics, foreign affairs and culture aimed at international readers and the English-speaking diaspora. Kathimerini is widely regarded as a Greek newspaper of record and is generally associated with a centre-right editorial tradition.
I Efimerida ton Syntakton, commonly EfSyn, is an Athens daily launched in 2012 by journalists organized as a cooperative, in which staff hold ownership. It emerged during Greece's economic crisis and is consistently characterized as left-wing, broadly sympathetic to the political space around SYRIZA and critical of austerity policies, balancing Greece's centre-right press.
ERT is Greece's state-owned public broadcaster, funded through a levy collected with electricity bills and by state resources. Its ERTnews service provides around-the-clock television and online news in Greek, covering national politics, the economy, and international affairs. Re-established in 2015 after a two-year closure, ERT remains one of the country's principal broadcast news sources.
