Founded in 1924 by brothers Panos and Giorgos Athanasiadis, Naftemporiki came into being to introduce financial journalism to Greece, launching as the country's first financial newspaper with the title "Nafkiko kai Emporiko Deltio" (Shipping and Commercial Bulletin) . The idea sparked from the need for dedicated reporting on economic and commercial affairs. Today, the newspaper operates under its current owner, Zofrank Holdings Co. Ltd., owned by Dimitris Melissanidis, who acquired it in April 2021 . Today, Naftemporiki is mainly focused on business and economic news, covering a wide array of topics. They provide in-depth reporting on finance, shipping, politics, society, culture, and sports, alongside international affairs . They're based in Greece, with headquarters in Piraeus, Athens, and have made a name for themselves among those looking for a comprehensive take on the happenings in the Greek and global economic landscape . One interesting fact: A unique fact about Naftemporiki is its expansion into television. Following its acquisition by Dimitris Melissanidis, the newspaper launched Naftemporiki TV, which broadcasts on major platforms like Cosmote TV and Nova, and has also begun broadcasting terrestrially as a regional channel in Attica .
