Founded in 2008 by Anastasios "Tasos" Papapostolou, Greek Reporter came into being as Greek Hollywood Reporter, a website focused on Greeks working in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Papapostolou created the site to give more attention to Greek people and Greek stories that were not always covered by larger media outlets, and the project later expanded into a broader news platform covering Greece and Greek communities around the world. Today, Greek Reporter operates as an independent digital publication with current ownership details not publicly confirmed. Today, Greek Reporter is mainly focused on politics, society, sports, entertainment, culture, travel, science, archaeology, history, business, and news about the Greek diaspora, with coverage spanning Greece, the United States, Cyprus, Europe, Australia, Canada, and other countries where Greek communities live. One interesting fact: Greek Reporter began with a narrow focus on Greeks in Hollywood but grew into one of the most widely read international news platforms dedicated to Greek news and diaspora stories worldwide.
