What Our Clients Say

“I cancelled my Kathimerini subscription after twenty years and switched to NewsDaily because the *Procurement Files* series by Aris Petrakis was the kind of work I had stopped expecting from Greek media. The Morning Brief lands at 7am, I read it on the metro to Evangelismos, and I am genuinely informed by the time I get to chambers. Worth every euro of the €70.”
Verified Customer
“Marco Vassallo's tech column is the only Greek-language tech analysis I trust on the AI Act. Last month I shared his piece on the Greek government's AI bill with our entire engineering team in Slack. Pay for journalism that does the homework.”
Verified Customer
“*Greek Standard Time* with Eleni Sotiropoulou is the podcast I listen to during my commute home. The episode on the Bank of Greece forecast was clearer than any financial press release I had read that week. The annual plan is cheaper than two cinema tickets.”
Verified Customer
“I am 71 years old and I do not love reading on a screen, but the NewsDaily layout is calm — large type, no autoplay videos, no pop-up ads after the third paragraph. The Corrections Ledger reassured me that someone in this country still cares about getting things right.”
Verified Customer
“The Student plan at €30 is the only journalism subscription I can afford. Konstantina Lazaridou's culture coverage is reason enough on its own — her Athens Biennale guide saved me from queuing in the wrong rooms. Recommend to every classmate.”
