Greece’s journalist union expels high-profile TV journalists over unethical role in referendum coverage

Greece’s journalist union ESIEA temporarily expelled SKAI channel’s news director Stamatis Malelis, SKAI’s commentator Ari Portosalte and “SKAI at 6” editor-in-chief Niko Konitopoulo for breaching journalism ethics during the referendum coverage.

The journalist union also reprimanded high-profile newscasters Olga Tremi (MEGA), Maria Choukli (ANT1) and Manoli Kapsi (MEGA) again for the gross propaganda they engaged in at the time of the Greek referendum last summer.

 

The last time a high-profile journalist was expelled from Greece’s journalist union was back in July 2013. At that time, ESIEA permanently expelled government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou over his role in the shutdown of public broadcaster ERT. As government spokesman Kedikoglou was also in charge of ERT. Greek public broadcaster ERT was practically shut down overnight on June 11th 2013. The decision was taken with 4:1 votes by the ESIEA council. Before going into politics Simos Kedikoglou was a journalist.
