The organised scene for journalists in Greece is strongly split. There is a large number of journalists’ and press associations, which are mostly organised as trade unions and, in some cases, have a long history. Some associations represent only very small interest groups or are only involved in regional events. There are no uniform conditions of acceptance. Only a little more than half of all journalists are organised in associations: Journalists' Union of Macedonia, Union of Press Photographers, Journalists Union of Central Greece, Panhellenic Federation of Journalists, Owners Association of Local Press and many more. The leading associations are the Union of Periodical Press Journalists and the Journalists Union of the Athens Daily Newspapers. |
