How the Greek television landscape changed during the financial crisis

ABSTRACT The Greek television industry is facing the new challenges of the streaming era while still recovering from a decade-long debt crisis (2009–2019) that has been the focus of public attention both within the EU and beyond. This study, following the “critical media industry studies” research approach, aims to synthesise the state of knowledge of the sector in the aftermath of this crisis period by combining disparate academic approaches and examining the ways in which decision makers responded to economic and regulatory shifts; thus providing an overview of the Greek television industry that contributes to the theoretical development of the field and also has practical implications for media practitioners and policy makers.
