HuffPost Greece Launches In Athens
Posted in: Today's ChiliScroll down to watch the livestream of the HuffPost Greece launch press conference in Athens.
Today The Huffington Post launched its 11th international edition, HuffPost Greece. We are thrilled to welcome our team in Athens to the HuffPost family. The site is in partnership with 24MEDIA, the largest digital media publisher in Greece.
The Greek site is near and dear to Arianna’s heart, as she notes in her blog celebrating the launch:
For me, this is the ultimate homecoming — not only because this is where I and my accent were born, but because HuffPost is very firmly rooted in a Greek tradition of bringing people together and facilitating interesting conversations. When we began our international expansion more than three years ago, I knew that one day HuffPost’s own odyssey — to borrow from one of my compatriots — would lead us to Greece. And I couldn’t be happier that that day has finally come.
HuffPost is known for its hybrid approach of original reporting, aggregation and an inclusive blog platform, and HuffPost Greece is committed to bringing that approach to its Greek readers. HuffPost Greece Editorial director Sophia Papaioannou writes:
Our goal is not just to provide you with all the breaking news. We intend to relentlessly follow the big issues of the day, to analyze events with fresh eyes, courage and humor, too. In short, we are striving to discover new people and ideas, new standards and sights.
Our chief aim, though, is for Huffington Post Greece to become your voice. We will be a platform for bloggers, both established and up-and-coming, to start a dialogue about the issues that interest them, with an eye always firmly fixed on the future. Our relationship will not end with a single post but will continue in the modern version of the dialectical method (as our ancestors would say) that the Internet and social media now afford us.
