About Ta Nea
Ta Nea was historically owned by the Lambrakis Press Group (DOL). In 2017, its assets, along with other DOL publications, were acquired by Alter Ego Media S.A., a group belonging to prominent Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns football clubs Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest.
Historically, Ta Nea was considered a center-left newspaper, strongly supporting the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) in earlier decades. However, since its acquisition by Alter Ego Media in 2017, it has adopted more centrist and right-wing views. Greece's media environment is characterized by concentrated ownership and concerns about editorial interference from owners, as well as government influence. Reporters Without Borders consistently ranks Greece lowest in the EU for press freedom, citing issues such as wiretapping of journalists, intimidatory lawsuits (SLAPPs), and a lack of accountability for crimes against journalists. Public trust in news in Greece is generally low, with Ta Nea's brand trust score at 39% in 2025.
