EDITORIAL

Solutions - or the problem itself? What Nikos Hadzinikolaou, representing the private television channels, has demanded from the National Radio and Television Council can perhaps be compared to a debtor who demands even more from his creditors. What can Greek society find to praise in the television coverage of such an outrageous crime? Could it be the screening of child pornography in the guise of a journalistic scoop?

COMMENTARY

Policy and public debate Political analysts who portray Public Order Minister Vyron Polydoras as a naive or opportunistic politician are wrong. It's just that Polydoras realizes the key role of the police force at a local as well as international level. Hence, it should not surprise anyone that the public order minister backed the economic demands of police officers or that he threatened to quit should the government fail to meet the request.
