In an ever-evolving media landscape, legacy print publications remain uniquely positioned to lead the way in audience engagement, content monetization, and long-term brand value. Backed by credibility, cultural relevance, and decades — even centuries — of trusted journalism, newspapers and magazines hold in their archives a wealth of untapped opportunity.
One powerful example of how archival content can be activated for both cultural preservation and strategic growth is the newly launched Digital Archive of ETHNIKOS KIRIX / THE NATIONAL HERALD.
Thanks to the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, this robust digital archive is now freely accessible in both Greek and English, offering unprecedented access to a 109-year-old journalistic legacy. Since its founding in 1915, Ethnikos Kirix has chronicled the story of Hellenism in America and beyond — first in Greek and, since 1997, in English as well.
The archive includes hundreds of thousands of digitized pages from the daily Greek-language editions, the weekly English-language issues, and all special inserts, including PERIODIKO, GYNAIKA, and commemorative editions.
As the oldest Greek daily newspaper published outside of Greece, this archive is more than a historical resource — it is a living case study in how to preserve, activate, and expand the reach of a publication’s legacy. It provides a replicable model for how other media organizations can transform decades of print content into digital assets that inform, inspire, and open doors to new partnerships.
Explore it today — not only is the past just a click away, but so is a compelling business opportunity and a blueprint for long-term success.
