Proto Thema

Proto Thema (Πρώτο Θέμα) is a Greek Sunday newspaper first published on February 27, 2005 by well-known Greek journalists Themos Anastasiadis, Makis Triantafyllopoulos, and Tassos Karamitsos. Triantafyllopoulos has previously been accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda by the anti-propaganda portal Propastop, and by the European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats. A report by the Greek investigative outlet InsideStory.gr in 2024 revealed that Tassos Karamitsos among a number of journalists illegally surveilled by the Greek prime minister’s office. Based in Athens, Proto Thema covers politics, economics, sports, lifestyle, and tabloid-style news, and it also has an online portal. In July 2024, it launched an AI-powered English edition funded by Google.
