As Australia’s largest and only daily Greek-language newspaper, The Greek Herald plays a crucial role in amplifying the voices of Greek and Cypriot Australians, bridging generations, and preserving cultural traditions.

Founded in 1926, The Greek Herald has been a cornerstone of the Greek and Cypriot Australian communities for nearly a century. With a strong commitment to cultural representation, it has provided generations of readers with trusted news, social advocacy, and community engagement. Beyond reporting, the publication ensures that stories are told with accuracy and cultural sensitivity, covering topics that matter deeply to Greek and Cypriot Australians, including social justice issues and heritage preservation.

In recent years, The Greek Herald has undergone a significant digital transformation, expanding its reach through a strong online presence. By embracing digital platforms, social media, and bilingual content in both Greek and English, the publication continues to evolve while staying true to its mission of informing and connecting the community.

Digital Editor Andriana Simos highlighted the publication’s mission to provide a platform for stories that mainstream media often overlooks.

The Greek Herald exists to inform and represent our community in a way that mainstream media often does not. Every story we publish is about giving a voice to Hellenic Australians, sharing our history, culture, and issues that matter to us,” Miss Simos said.

“This award is a recognition of the importance of community journalism and the dedicated team that works tirelessly to ensure our readers stay informed and connected.”

As The Greek Herald approaches its 100-year milestone, this recognition serves as a testament to its unwavering commitment to journalism, cultural representation, and the Hellenic Australian community.
