About Kathimerini

Paper Of Record Center-rightEstablished source

Kathimerini is published by Nees Kathimerines Ekdoseis Single Member S.A. and is 100% owned by Themistoklis Alafouzos. The Alafouzos family, with interests in shipping and other media like SKAI channel, has owned the newspaper since 1988, when Aristeidis Alafouzos acquired it.

Kathimerini is generally considered a newspaper of record in Greece and is rated as having a right-center bias, particularly in its opinion and editorial sections, where it often presents a liberal, pro-business perspective. Media Bias/Fact Check rates its factual reporting as 'mostly factual' with 'HIGH CREDIBILITY,' though it notes occasional reliance on quotes and potential for loaded language favoring conservative viewpoints. The broader Greek media landscape faces challenges including concentrated ownership, government surveillance of journalists, and SLAPP lawsuits, contributing to Greece's low ranking in press freedom among EU countries. Kathimerini has been observed to use the official Greek government news agency, APE-MPE, which may not always offer critical perspectives.
