About

*We are always searching for people around the globe that are proud of their Greek heritage, or are involved in their local Greek communities, to contribute articles and news stories to our site. Unfortunately, these contributor positions are unpaid but may turn to paid positions after some time as the site grows. However, we will try to promote your name and articles as much as we can. If you are interested, please contact us.

Greece is not a confined physical space with borders, but an idea that lives in people’s hearts.

GREEKREPORTER.com is the leading international Greek news destination. We are proud to be the first portal for Greeks that live and work outside of their homeland. With a network of journalists, photographers, camera crews and contributors in the largest Greek centers around the globe, we are the Greek news source for everything that matters to Greeks living abroad. The saying, “There is another Greece outside of Greece,” is something that we strongly believe in.

Until 2009, when Greek Reporter was launched, there was no other Greek news source on the web, in print or on television that covered Greeks abroad and Greek presence around the globe. Here, you will find news, interviews and articles on things that matter the most. We gather news only from, and for, Greeks. We will also present and introduce you to many successful Greeks of diaspora that have made a difference in their professions.

There are many different Greek media outlets in various countries that work separately, but they cater to the needs of the local population. Today, we need something glocal (global+local), and Greek Reporter achieves this by operating different local portals that inform on a global level  - Hollywood, USA, Australia, Canada, Europe, World, Greece - and can be visited from the main page of our site. The goal is to build a brand name in news which will be recognized and trusted by Greeks in different countries.

More than news

Greek Reporter is not just news, but also a community of all its 2,500,000+ readers. We have pledged that, as an organization that reports the news, we will try within our means to work on some of the issues we report on. This is why very often, Greek Reporter helps organizations, through media sponsorships, to grow their base and spread awareness for their cause.

Also, Greek Reporter takes pride in certain initiatives we have created to help Greece and Hellenism around the globe.

• Hire A Greek – The first job listing to connect Greek job seekers with foreign employers.
• Ideas for Greece – A campaign against the Greek Crisis
• Hollywood Stars for Greece – A video campaign in which many A-list Hollywood stars talk about Greece.

How it started...
Greek Reporter is an award winning project (Presidential Award of CSUN) that started on the grounds of California State University Northridge. The idea was conceived by Anastasios Papapostolou, a graduate of CSU Northridge, and Editor-in-Chief for Greek Reporter. Anastasios has been writing for magazines and newspapers since he was 14-years-old, and has also worked for numerous TV and radio shows.
