The National Herald/Εθνικός Κήρυξ, the Greek daily of New York, is the only daily Greek-language newspaper in the United States and it just celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The National Herald presents news, opinions, and feature stories of interest to Greek Americans. It was founded by the merchant Petros Tatanis on 2 April 1915, and kicked off with an interview with Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos.
The paper’s name, logo, and font were borrowed from Venizelos’ own newspaper in Hania, Crete, the Kyrix.
On this occasion, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras sent a congratulatory letter to the national daily for its centennial on April 3.
He said that The National Herald, the second oldest Greek newspaper in the world and the oldest outside the borders of Greece, “represents the voice of Hellenism in America and keeps the communication of Greeks abroad with every corner ofGreece alive”.
