The general crisis sweeping across Greece since the late 2000s leaves deep marks on the entire spectrum of social life, affecting all institutions and almost all of our individual and collective activities.
Precisely because it is a general crisis, it did not and could not leave the media untouched. A decrease in advertising revenues, an increase in borrowing, layoffs of journalists and other media workers, a contraction in the number of media outlets, changes in content, etc. are some of the consequences of the crisis on the mass media, leading to a reshaping of the landscape of mass communication in Greece.
Moreover, throughout the crisis, particularly at its critical junctures, the mass media become crucial tools for understanding and addressing the crisis, for implementing an economic policy, and for expressing and debating the different views regarding the causes, consequences, and management of the crisis both domestically and abroad.
In other words, during the course of the crisis, there is not only a battle to address the debt crisis but also a battle over the ideas related to the debt crisis and its management, not only in the narrowly economic field but also in politics, in the area of values, and in other areas of society.
This volume is among the first in Greece to attempt to scientifically explore the complex and multifaceted relationship between the media and the economic crisis.
