Greek journalists on 24-hour strike to protest austerity
Greek journalists are striking to protest austerity measures, pulling all television and radio news broadcasts off the air a day before a nationwide general strike expected to shut down services across the country.
Wednesday’s media strike meant news websites were not being updated until Thursday morning, and no Thursday newspapers would be published. Journalists are protesting sweeping social security reforms that will affect pension funds.

Greek private and public sector workers are walking off the job Thursday in a general strike that will affect all services, from transport to schools.
