I Efimerida ton Syntakton (Greek:Η Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών,lit. 'The Newspaper of the Editors', also abbreviated asEfSyn) is the name of a Greek cooperative dailynewspaper. It was founded on November of 2012 by a team of former workers of theEleftherotypia newspaper.[1][2][3] Its chief editor was Nikolas Voulelis for one decade.[4] In October of 2022, Sotiris Maniatis undertook this position.[5]
It was founded in 2012, under the hard conditions that were imposed on the people by theGreek economic crisis, from former workers of theEleftherotypia newspaper.[6] The venture was supported by volunteers and other professional journalists, as well as columnists who were involved in the sciences, politics and culture. The newspaper worked, initially, as acooperative. All the workers received equal pay, except from the chief editor Nikolas Voulelis, who received no pay.[7] Through its nature as acooperative, the newspaper was able to include a diverse range of opinions, which was necessary for the retention of its autonomy. All of the people involved in the cooperative of the newspaper were automatically considered workers. The wages had a limit that had been set by the newspaper, so that if there were a surplus it would go into the necessities of the newspaper and into the integration of more workers.
The administration of the cooperative was elected by the workers themselves, who made up the base shareholders in the newspaper, since they owned 97% of the company that published it (Independent Mass Media A.E., Ανεξάρτητα Μέσα Μαζικής Ενημέρωσης Α.Ε.)
On 22 September of 2025, the general assembly of the cooperative decided unanimously on the sale of 51% of the stocks of the company to the publishing groupNaftemporiki, of the family ofDimitris Melissanidis, with the purpose being the furthering of the newspapers growth and development.[8][9]
On a daily scale, sales are estimated at around 5.000 sheets, which makes it the 2nd or 3rd biggest in circulation greek newspaper.[10] On Saturday sales reach around 12.000 to 15.000 sheets which is between the 3rd and 4th place of circulation.[11]
On Saturdays the newspaper circulates a special edition of the newspaper with the title "Efimerida ton Sintakton - Savatokyriako" (Savatokyriako being a combination of Saturday and Sunday) and it remains in kiosks in both Saturdays and Sundays. Simultaneously it circulates pull-outs for themes related to health, cars, the environment and other interests. On June 2019, the newspaper changed its price to 1,5€ for its daily circulation (from a price of 1,3€) and to 3,90€ for the Saturday edition with offers (from 3,50€), keeping its price at 2€ for the simple edition.[12] From November 2021 until the summer of 2022 it published on a monthly basis the american periodicalRolling Stone, of which it gained the rights to for the greek edition.[13][14]
On March of 2024, the price of the newspaper was changed again to 2€ (from 1,50€) for the daily sheet, to 2,50€ (from 2€) for the regular edition of Saturday and to 4,25€ for the edition with special offers (from 3,90€).
On an ideological scale, theNewspaper of the Editors has been described as "left-wing" and "pro-grassroots"[15] and that it represents the "radical" or the "new" left.[16] During theperiod of the rule ofAlexis Tsipras (2015-2019) it often expressed support for the government.[17]
