This fully revised and updated second edition offers a holistic interpretation of the Greek crisis and how it has been reported around the world. Expanding on the original content it provides new analysis of international media coverage of the rise of Golden Dawn, the coming to power of Syriza and the growing threat of a Greek exit from the Eurozone. George Tzogopoulos details how American, British, French, German and Italian broadsheets and tabloids covered these events and explores the reporting of Russian and Chinese media as events in Greece are increasingly viewed as potential sources of concern and opportunity in those countries, as well as in the West. By placing the Greek experiences and treatment alongside those of other EU members such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain Tzogopoulos highlights the similarities and differences between how different countries are reported by the world's media and considers why these differences exist.
