Greek-Australian Media Outlets, Where to Pitch Your Story

If you’re running a Greek event, opening a Greek business, touring a Greek artist, launching a Greek book or trying to get any Greek-Australian story in front of the right audience, the media landscape is smaller than you think and easier to navigate than you’d guess. This is the working directory. Every Greek-Australian outlet worth pitching, what they cover, and how to reach them.

We’ve included Cycladic Spaces because we’re on the list. We’d be dishonest to leave ourselves off. Contact details verified August 2026. Editors, if we’ve missed you or a detail needs updating, email info@cycladicspaces.com.au and we’ll fix it.

Reach: distributed through Adelaide Greek community networks. Contact via the paper or through the Greek Orthodox Community of South Australia.

Regional and church bulletins

Most large Greek Orthodox parishes publish a newsletter or bulletin. For church-specific events (name days, panigiria, festivals), the parish bulletin will publish. For anything with community-wide reach, always go bigger too.

Diaspora-adjacent outlets to consider

SBS Insight, SBS News, ABC RN

Not Greek-specific, but if your story has a wider diaspora, migration, or cultural-identity angle, mainstream Australian media will consider it. Pitch to the specific journalist covering multiculturalism, arts or migration at each outlet. Their bylines are searchable on the outlet website.

The Greek Journal (magazine)

Long-form print magazine of Greek-Australian culture. Best for feature-length pieces, in-depth profiles, and photo essays. Longer lead time than daily news outlets, so pitch three months ahead of your ideal publication date.

Ovation magazine, community glossies

Various Greek-Australian community and lifestyle glossies come and go. Some run annual editions tied to Greek Easter, National Day (25 March) or Oxi Day (28 October). Search current stock at a Greek deli or community centre for the latest live titles.

International Greek media that occasionally covers Australia

Greek Reporter

US-based English-language site covering global Greek news. Occasionally picks up Australian stories, especially diaspora features and business wins. Worth a pitch if your story has global resonance.

Website: greekreporter.com

Kathimerini English Edition

The English edition of Greece’s major national newspaper. Covers Greek news for an international audience. Rarely covers Australian community news but will cover Australian-Greek business or cultural stories with a Greek angle.

Website: ekathimerini.com

Non-media assets worth pitching alongside

  • Greek Community organisations. The Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne and Victoria, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, the Greek Consulate General newsletters, and state-based community councils all have distribution lists.

  • Greek Festival organisers. If your story ties to Antipodes Festival Melbourne, Adelaide Greek Festival, or Oakleigh Greek Festival, the festival PR teams have media lists and can amplify.

  • Instagram community accounts. Accounts like @greekaussie, @greeksofmelbourne and city-specific handles have engaged followings and will regram business openings, event flyers and community wins.

How to pitch (the general rules)

  1. Subject line does the work. Editors decide in three seconds. Format, PITCH, [six-word angle]. Never PITCH, story idea.

  2. One paragraph in the body. Who, what, where, when, why it matters to Greek Australians. Then the details underneath.

  3. Attach or link two to three landscape images. With credit.

  4. Give dates. Especially opening dates, tour dates, event dates. Editors need lead time.

  5. Do not attach a PDF as the entire pitch. Paste key facts into the email. PDFs get ignored.

  6. One outlet at a time for exclusives. If you offer the story to five outlets simultaneously, most will pass. If you want an exclusive angle, offer it to your first-choice outlet with 48 hours’ head start.

  7. Nudge once. After a week of silence, one polite follow-up. Then let it go.

What editors want vs what they hate

Want

  • Specific dates and locations

  • A human face on the story (founder, artist, family)

  • Cultural resonance for Greek-Australians

  • High-res photos ready to go

  • Fresh news, not last month’s launch

Hate

  • PDF-only pitches

  • “Just checking if you got this” three times in one week

  • Ambiguous timing (“sometime this year”)

  • ChatGPT-written pitches with no human edit

  • Multiple simultaneous exclusives, promised to everyone

Common questions from PRs and business owners

Should I pay a PR agency to pitch my Greek business?

Not necessarily. Most Greek-Australian outlets are approachable directly and prefer a direct pitch from the founder or event organiser. Agencies help if your story is complex or if you’re running a national multi-city launch. For a single opening or event, DIY is fine.

What’s the difference between pitching Neos Kosmos and The Greek Herald?

Neos Kosmos leans Melbourne and has stronger political and arts coverage. The Greek Herald leans Sydney and stronger community events and family features. Both are national. Pitch both if the story warrants.

Do I need to write in Greek to pitch the bilingual papers?

No. English is fine. They’ll translate if they want to publish in Greek.

How much lead time should I give?

Two weeks minimum for news, four weeks for features, three months for magazine long-form. For events, six weeks out is ideal. Nothing lands the day-of unless it’s major news.

Are there any Greek-Australian trade or industry publications?

Not really, no. The community is small enough that the general Greek-Australian outlets cover everything. Industry-specific pitches usually go to mainstream Australian trade press with a Greek-community angle bolted on.

Can I pitch podcasts?

Yes. There’s a small but growing Greek-Australian podcast scene. Search Spotify and Apple Podcasts for “Greek Australian” and pitch the ones that fit your topic. Turnaround is usually slower than print but reach is often more engaged.
