China Greece Cultural Media Group (中希文化傳媒集團) is a cross-platform media organization established in 2016 and based in Greece. The group operates China Greece Times (中希時報), a bilingual newspaper founded in 2005, and the web portal www.cgw.gr. Its platforms include WeChat accounts, mobile applications, video content, and international social media channels. As of 2023, Wang Peng (汪鹏), who also serves as the chairman of the Greece-China Alliance for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (希臘中國和平統一促進會), an organization linked to the United Front Work Department of the CCP — serves as editor-in-chief. Wang was a co-founder of the China Greece Times in 2005, three years after he arrived in Greece for studies. In a post to the official website of the United Front Work Department in October 2022, Wang praised the 20th National Congress of the CCP as “an extremely important meeting convened at a critical moment as we embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.” The meeting, he said, had concerned “the continuation and development of the Party and national endeavors, the future and destiny of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” The organization has collaborated with a number of institutions, including the Chinese government-linked Athens China Cultural Center (雅典中国文化中心) and major Chinese enterprises on cultural events, exhibitions, and festivals promoting Chinese culture in Greece. The media group claims to serve as “a bridge” between Chinese and Greek communities and reaches Greek government, parliament, diplomatic institutions, and business leaders.

Namibia Press Agency

Written by Editors on .

The Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA) is the state-owned national news agency of Namibia, initially founded in 1987 and officially established in 1991 following Namibia’s independence. The agency was created under the Namibia Press Agency Act of 1992, which formalized its status as the country’s official news agency. NAMPA covers government affairs, sports, education, and the economy, and has partnered with several international news agencies, including Agence France-Presse, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, China’s official Xinhua News Agency (新华社), and Russia’s state-run Sputnik. The agency has also faced questions about editorial independence; in October 2002, the Committee to Protect Journalists asserted that NAMPA had “long practiced self-censorship on contentious issues” and accused the agency of being a government mouthpiece, criticism that has persisted in subsequent years.
