- Abstract
The Greek language press in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century was established by several individuals with strong affiliations with the two major Greek political sides, the liberal venizelists and the conservative pro-royalists. Initially formed as the organs of those two ideological blocks, the newspapers gradually had to adapt to the realities of their American environment. By examining the correspondence of Demetrios Callimachos, the legendary editor-in-chief of the New York-based Greek language daily Ethnikos Keryx this article examines how that newspaper tried to adapt to the situation Greek American faced and also remain loyal to its ideological roots. In doing so it reveals the ways one important Greek American newspaper began transitioning from a reflection of Greece into a mirror of Greek America.
