Arianna Huffington unveiled HuffPost Greece at a press conference held earlier today in Athens, calling the launch “the ultimate homecoming.”
HuffPost Greece will be the 12th site in The Huffington Post’s ongoing international expansion; HuffPost now reaches half of the world’s GDP. The Huffington Post attracts 119 million unique visitors (comScore, U.S. visitors, October 2014), making it the #1 news site in the U.S. More than one third of U.S. residents read The Huffington Post (comScore).

The Greek-language site was launched through a collaboration with 24MEDIA, the largest digital media publisher in Greece. HuffPost Greece will be an incisive mix of original reporting, investigative journalism, and thought provoking blogs from the Greek community.
From Arianna’s blog post today: “When we began our international expansion more than three years ago, I knew that one day HuffPost’s own odyssey — to borrow from one of my compatriots — would lead us to Greece. And I couldn’t be happier that that day has finally come.”
For today’s launch, selected content from the site has been translated into English:
