About 77 percent of the Greek public learn the news from social media, while there is a trend for most people to put emphasis on information originating from TikTok and Facebook, Alternate Professor of International Journalism at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikos Panagiotou, told a conference on Monday.
Addressing the Association of Balkan News Agencies-Southeastern Europe (ABNA-SE) Conference on “The role of news information in the new Balkan reality”, Panagiotou noted the importance of verified information, noting that the traditional media have a strong advantage in this area.
