On the occasion of the arrest of the owner of the media for a politician blackmail case, on Saturday, July 5 in Volos, the Association of Editors of the Daily Newspapers of Thessaly, Central Greece and Euboea (ESIE-E) is proceeding with a clarification and clarifying

First of all, we have to make it clear in every direction that the person allegedly involved in the case is not a member of our Union and has nothing to do with the professional journalism space, as represented by ESIE-E.
This is not registered in our registries and is not recognized by the Union as a professional journalist, which is of particular importance in protecting the reputation of real information officials.

The Union strongly condemns this incident, which has seen the light of publicity by a statement by the Greek Police, as it is a brutal insult of the ethics and dignity of the journalistic function.
It is an action that unjustly defames all the professional journalists of Thessaly, Central Greece and Euboea, who are fighting the battle with honesty and professional consistency daily.

Professional journalists-members of ESITE-E-are people who work with objectivity, impartiality and respect for the truth and the common interest. They have nothing to do with “transactions under the table”, nor with the practices of blackmailing any kind.

Their role is clear and they serve democracy and transparency through the information of citizens, and it is necessary to follow the statutes of the associations and the rules of ethics of the journalistic function. Unlike several “journalists” and “journalists”.

The ESSEMA stresses that journalism cannot be transformed into a tool of personal interests or pressure and cannot be humiliated by individual cases where they have nothing to do with the profession. Such practices turn against society as a whole, affect freedom of print and depreciate the public’s confidence in the media.

With full confidence in justice officials and with respect to the processes and the presumption of innocence in order to shine the truth and to be responsible where they exist, it supports every initiative that preserves the prestige of information and clearly separates professionalism from arbitrariness.

Finally, it appeals to all bodies, institutions and, above all, to the citizens, to maintain a criticism but at the same time avoid vague generalizations. Not everyone can “get into the same sack” for the mistakes and passions of the few. The struggle for pure, independent and ethical journalism is daily and collective.
