EfSyn
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.

Is EfSyn left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
EfSyn is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Greece's press. In Greece, Naftemporiki and Protothema are listed as Centrist, while Kathimerini is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open EfSyn beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read EfSyn beside another title from Greece and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Greece dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are EfSyn's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because EfSyn is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Greece on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
