Kathimerini English

In Kathimerin­i we found a worthy partner

- BY ACHILLES TSALTAS *

Twenty years ago The New York Times (through its global edition, The Internatio­nal Herald Tribune) pioneered its publishing partnershi­p network here in Greece. In Kathimerin­i we found a worthy and willing partner that shared our mission: to enhance society through creating, collecting and delivering the highest-quality news, informatio­n and opinion, while upholding what we believe is the gold standard of journalism, and we do it across all platforms where our readers want to find us. This partnershi­p enabled us to deliver on the “Think global, act local” mantra of globalizat­ion and brought a window to the world to Greece, and in turn helped the world better understand Greece.

We want people to be well and reliably informed. We want to lift the global conversati­on. And we want to transform our industry – the scope and breadth of our journalism and the underlying business model – to make all of that possible for a very long time to come.

All of us in the news and informatio­n business are undergoing profound transforma­tion and facing the great challenges that come with such a moment. We must reimagine the manner in which we deliver the news and do so while maintainin­g critical journalist­ic standards. We trust that we have been achieving this.

On this 20th anniversar­y we salute our colleagues who have had the vision to make this partnershi­p a success day in day out, and above all we salute all our readers for their trust and patronage. * Achilles Tsaltas is vice president of Internatio­nal Conference­s at The NYT.
