is a newspaper title with over 100 years of history. It was founded by Georgios Vlachos, a prominent antivenizelist, in 1919 and was later inherited by his daughter
Helen Vlachos (Eléni Vláchou) and her husband, retired submarine commander Constantine Loundras. The newspaper was highly critical of
Eleftherios Venizelos in the early 20th century, and also opposed
Georgios Papandreou in the postwar years. It maintains a traditional layout, with its original
griffin logo, and incorporates printed supplements in its Sunday edition. Eleni Vlachou sold the company shortly before her death to
George Koskotas, who wanted to control the
mass media landscape in favor of
Andreas Papandreou and his socialist party. As the
Koskotas scandal was unraveling,
Aristeidis Alafouzos, In October 1995, was assessed as Greece's "nearest equivalant to a newspaper of record". It was later considered a newspaper of record. Alafouzos died in 2017 and was succeeded by his son Themistoklis Alafouzos. ==Circulation==
