Let's deal with LuxLeaks. Why? Our relationship with Wind, a super Greek company that is diligently trying to enrich itself at the expense of consumers, is well known. If you are from Wind and have objections, our phone numbers are on the Contact, but before you call us, read the article. 
But this article is not about the services of the company in question, it is about a piece of news that was published in the “fine print” of the major news websites of our country. We want to believe that the readership of iGuRu.gr is looking for something more than the stereotypes of Greek journalism, not to mention the major channels for examples and lawsuits will start coming.
Kostas Ephemeros from ThePressProjectwas probably the only one who reported the news that no one dared to reveal in all its glory.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has released part of the 28,000 documents that prove the systematic tax avoidance of billions of euros by the world's largest companies. Among them are EFG Eurobank (owned by the Latsis family) and Wind... but you won't read this almost anywhere
What struck us in the article about LuxLeaks was the chapter “Where did the news go, eh?” We quote it as it is:
In Greece, there are two more scandals, not insignificant at all. The first and most important one, you will allow us to hold on to for a little while longer until we publish our big tribute in the coming days. The second is called Greek journalism… or rather the lack thereof.
The revelation was made by NEA. In the inset photo on the left you can see how Mr. Psycharis' newspaper chose to publish this global exclusive news (it's the box on the top left). You won't find any company names, of course. However, let's give a point to the newspaper that took part in the research and ultimately played the topic. But let's go further and choose the completely inaccurate Alexa system to see how the top 10 websites* in our country played the topic on their front pages:
1. Zougla.gr has the Luxemburg Leaks news and a 900-word report but only mentions companies that do not operate in Greece . No mention of Eurobank, Latsis or Wind.
2. Protothema.gr has no mention of the scandal. However , it does have an advertisement for Wind.
3. Newsit.gr also has no mention of LuxLeaks. It also has an advertisement for Wind.
4.tro- ma-ktiko.blogspot.gr also has no mention. Strangely enough, it has a huge Eurobank advertisement (Let's assume that the blog is not anonymous and can charge bills?)
5. The powerful and authoritative in.gr... Also not a single word on the front page about LuxLeaks. Advertisement Wind: Present!
6. News247.gr… no mention, no advertising (how will HuffPost get it?)
7. NewsBomb.gr also has absolutely no mentions and almost no advertising (everyone has become like TPP).
8. iefimerida.gr has no mention of the issue and has Wind and Eurobank advertisements in the first two positions.
9. NewsBeast.gr also without any mention and also with Wind and Eurobank advertisements.
10. Capital.gr has absolutely no mention of the scandal and has an advertisement for Eurobank.
* P.S. 1: Only one of two things can happen: Either Greeks are crazy and other sites are reading more than they say they are reading, or Greek businessmen who are active on the internet are buying fake traffic lavishly. The answer in a few days.
P.S. 2: Keep the above list and visit the sites I mentioned above and it seems that they do not have any advertising for one company or the other. Personally, I believe that in the next 2-3 days Eurobank and Wind will "sharply" increase their advertising spending.
P.S. 3: With the media situation as described above, it's up to you to spread the news. It's your turn, as we used to say when we were little.

The fact of “independent and uninfluenced” journalism in Greece is well known and there was no shortage of examples. The news that circulates, especially today, should be filtered very well before being swallowed and digested whole.
If you wait for developments on this issue, they probably won't happen, and if they do, the solution will be found under the table, away from newspapers, channels and blogs. We have no illusions, this publication is a small dissonant note in the melody that the domestic media plays for us, with capital as the conductor.
The encouraging thing is that there are pages like ThePressProject that still dare to throw punches at the knife.
