News websites have totally changed the way people around the world get their daily news and Greece has been no exception. Although a little behind than the rest of Europe in computer literacy, more and more Greeks turn to news websites and the electronic pages of the remaining newspapers to keep up with what’s going on in the world.
In Greece the depreciation of traditional media and the rise of the respective alternatives was greatly helped by the crisis. Along with the changes prolonged recession has brought, such as the social and political upheaval, there was also a change in the way in which the Greek is informed.
Unemployment and poverty, the impoverishment of the working class, and the stifling depression of the middle class, have led to total disenchantment with the political system and mass media. Today, mass media, traditional and new, are dominated by populist and often provocative journalists who severely denounce government incompetence and corruption and have become very popular.
