Years of social turbulence have eroded trust in the news media and public institutions in Greece. Greeks increasingly turn to social media and other online sources for news and have some of the highest levels of online news consumption in the West. Within this context, Orthos Logos entered the picture in early 2019. Greece’s first solutions journalism startup, Orthos Logos operates on a subscription-based model, aims to reduce polarization in society, and provides evidence-based journalism. Can such a publication succeed? What do the first two years of its existence demonstrate? How can a startup with limited funding weather storms such as the pandemic and economic recession? This presentation charts possible answers.
