Media Commercialization and Journalism in Greece

Stylianos Papathanassopoulos

This article analyses the effects of media commercialization and market expansion on Greek journalism and argues that although journalism appears to be a profession which plays a more active social and political role in Greece, giving the impression that it sets the agenda and represents the ordinary citizen, it is heavily influenced by the constraints imposed by news organizations. The article first discusses to what extent the `professional model' of journalism can be applied to all countries. Second, it provides a brief account of the contemporary media landscape. It then discusses the implications of media commercialization on Greek journalism drawing from original and other research.

Key Words: Greek press • journalism • media owners • objectivity • politics • professionalism
