Greek journalists launched a 24-hour strike, halting news nationwide to demand better pay, safer conditions, and press freedom. The protest highlights a media crisis as the country faces broader labor unrest and calls for systemic reform.
Journalists in Greece staged a 24-hour strike on Tuesday, halting news coverage across television, radio, and online platforms in a bid to secure better working conditions and improved pay. The strike, organised by various journalist associations, aims to highlight the deteriorating state of the media industry and press for a new collective labour agreement.
The unions are calling for a minimum starting salary of €1,250 ($1,370), 10% wage increases, compensation for weekend shifts, and additional allowances for assignments in high-risk areas like conflict zones and disaster-stricken regions. Journalists have also demanded an end to the chaotic working environment that they say undermines both their livelihoods and the freedom of the press.
The strike coincides with a wider political climate of dissatisfaction, as Greece prepares for a nationwide general strike on Wednesday, affecting both public and private sector workers. Journalists’ unions argue that without substantial changes, the industry's ability to provide reliable news to the public will continue to be compromised.
As the strike disrupts news flows, the call for reforms in the media sector is gaining traction, with the unions demanding a fairer and more stable environment for press professionals.
