For a century, The Greek Herald newspaper has documented the highs, heartbreaks, arguments, triumphs, arrivals, farewells, church disputes, political dramas, community milestones and everyday lives of Greek Australians. On Wednesday, May 27, many of the people who helped shape that story — or grew up reading it — gathered beneath the sandstone walls of Parliament to celebrate the paper that, for generations, has helped connect Hellenism across Australia.
One of the speakers at the event was Professor Anastasios Tamis, President of the Australian Institute of Macedonian Studies, who delivered a sweeping reflection on the newspaper’s role throughout migration, war and multicultural Australia. He described The Greek Herald as “a vital source of information” and paid tribute to late publisher Theodore Skalkos, whose influence over ethnic media in Australia he described as transformative. “It was Theodore Skalkos who recognised and reconstructed the Greek media in Australia,” Professor Tamis said. He urged the community to continue supporting independent multicultural media into the future.
