Neos Kosmos is a national Greek community newspaper in Melbourne, Australia.[1]
History
Founded in 1957 by Dimitri Gogos, Bill Stefanou and noted author Alekos Doukas. It is published by Ethnic Publications Pty Ltd, and is Australia's longest standing Greek community newspaper.[2]
In its early days, the newspaper was heavily left-leaning, and was known to advocate for unionization and worker's rights.[3][4] The paper was monitored by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation during the Vietnam War, due to its frequent publication of anti-conscription and anti-war sentiments.[5]
It has been published in Greek as a broadsheet on Monday and Thursday and as a tabloid in English and Greek on Saturday since August 2010.
Neos Kosmos has received two Multicultural Media Awards, for best print publication and a high commendation for a print article in Sydney, New South Wales, in 2014.[citation needed]
