NEWSPAPERS

I was the Feature & Sports Editor at Athens Star (weekly and daily English-language newspaper) from January 1985 to December 1986 with my boss being fellow foreign journalist Paul Anastasi. The newspaper was published by Aetos S.A. of Athens, Greece.
From January 1983 to December 1984 I was Managing/Executive Editor of the daily and then weekly newspaper Athens Mail with publisher Giannis Kyritsakis of Hellenic Alfa Publishing Company in Athens, Greece.
From 1979 to 1980 and again in 1998 I was Associate Editor at the Athens News. The first job I got when I arrived to live permanently in Athens, Greece was with the Athens News in January 1979 as Associate Editor. I was suggested for the job by Phaedron Morphis of the Government Press Office and hired by the newspaper's publisher Giannis Horn, owner of Athens News S.A. It was a bit of a surprise to hear from Horn that I was the first journalist hired even though the newspaper was in existence for 15 years. Before I arrived Horn hired any foreigner who asked for the job whether or not they knew anything about journalism as translators from Greek media were used instead of editors. Six months later in 1979 I left the job for better opportunities and then in 1998 I was hired as an editor for a short period by Athinaika Nea (Lambrakis Press Group) which had purchased the newspaper from Horn earlier.
From March to April 1988 I was Foreign News Editor of Greece Today, a daily English-language newspaper published by Tomi Publications Inc. of Athens. Publisher of the newspaper was George Kriklakis, General Director was Titos Athanasiadis and Managing Editor was Lambis Charalambidis. The newspaper folded after just eight issues.
From 1998 to 1999 I was Associate Editor and Sports Editor of the weekly English-language Greek newspaper The Hellenic Star published by Olympic Action-Athens International Media Ltd.
I was the English Editor of the twice monthly financial-insurance newspaper Financial Insurance (Οικονομική Ασφαλιστική) published by Sofianna Publishing Company and Press Inter Ltd. in Athens, Greece under owner George Zachariou from January 1983 to December 2019.  I introduced Desk Top Publishing to the newspaper and was responsible for the contents and makeup of my pages.
From 1970 to 1972 I was English Editor of Ta Nea, the St. George Greek Orthodox Church of Piscataway, New Jersey monthly newspaper.
