CNN Greece marks five years since launch and extends partnership with CNNIC

CNN Greece, the digital platform CNN.gr, marks five years since it first brought a dynamic mix of international and national news to Greek audiences.

CNN.gr is a digital-only Greek language media launched by DPG Media in November 2015. The news service operates through an agreement with CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) to license the CNN brand and access content and programming from across the CNN portfolio.

Over the last five years CNN Greece has established a leading position in the Greek digital news arena, featuring primary and awarded exclusive content, thorough exclusive reporting, 24/7 breaking news coverage, whilst maintaining high journalistic standards synonymous with the brand. CNN Greece is a top online news destination reaching more than 6.5 million unique users on a monthly basis and is now looking to the future as it extends its partnership with CNNIC until 2027.

"In the five years since CNN Greece was launched, I have been continually proud of content that has met high-quality standards, leading to online readers in Greece indicating CNN.gr as their main credible source of news and up to date information,” said Dimitris Giannakopoulos, Owner of DPG Group “Building on the achievements of our team's hard work, persistence and devotion, I am truly delighted to extend our collaboration with CNN for the coming years. I look forward to keeping CNN Greece at the top of online media in Greece and reporting on the future challenges our constantly changing world sets before us.“

“We are delighted with the performance of CNN Greece and the role of DPG Media in bringing the CNN brand of news to Greek audiences in their own language,” said Phil Nelson, Chief Operating Officer, CNN International Commercial. “Strong partnerships are built on longevity, and we are pleased to be extending our relationship with DPG Media. We look forward to CNN Greece continuing to take further strides in the digital space and cement its role as a source of credible and highly-regarded international and national news.”
