'''''Estia''''' ({{lang-el|Ἑστία||hearth}}) is a Greek national daily broadsheet [[newspaper]] published in [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It was founded in 1876 as a literary magazine and then in 1894 has been transformed into a newspaper, making it Greece's oldest daily newspaper still in circulation. It is named after the ancient Greek goddess [[Hestia]], one of the [[Twelve Olympians]]. ''Estia'' is widely regarded as right wing in terms of political alignment and most often referred to as “conservative” and “nationalist” and is readily distinguishable as the only Greek newspaper still employing the old-fashioned [[Greek diacritics|polytonic system]] of accentuation. An “opinion newspaper” with a writing style acknowledged to be “incisive” and with a loyal readership also described as “exclusive”, ''Estia'' is often treated not merely as a newspaper but as “an institution of [[bourgeois]] Athens”. On the 120th anniversary of its publication (March 12, 2014), the President of Greece [[Karolos Papoulias]] issued a congratulatory note<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.in.gr/culture/article/?aid=1231302776|title=Συγχαρητήριο μήνυμα K.Παπούλια για τα 120 χρόνια της εφημερίδας "Εστία"|work=In.gr|access-date=2017-05-17}}</ref> crediting the contribution of ''Estia'' to public life.

'''''Estia''''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: '''{{lang|grc|Ἑστία}}''') is a national [[newspaper]] published daily in [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It is generally considered a broadsheet of a conservative, right-wing political alignment, and an advocate of [[free-market]] policies. It is named after the goddess [[Hestia]].

''Estia'' is the only daily written in [[katharevousa]], a purist and archaic form of [[modern Greek]] that was abolished as the official administrative language in 1976. The use of [[katharevousa]] was previously favored by the conservative press, as opposed to [[dimotiki]], which was favored by the centrist and leftist press. In recent years, however, ''Estia'' has adopted a very moderate form of katharevousa. ''Estia'' is also the only daily employing the [[Polytonic orthography|polytonic system of accentuation]], which was officially abandoned following legislation in 1982; ''Estia'', nevertheless, uses a simplified polytonic orthography in which the [[grave accent]] is replaced by the [[acute accent|acute]].

''Estia'' did not switch to a modern computer system until 1997. At that time [[Unicode]]-enabled software had become more widely available and it was possible to continue printing the newspaper in the polytonic system. Until then, the newspaper continued to be set and printed using [[Linotype machine]]s. ''Estia'' is one of the few Greek newspapers printed in [[broadsheet]] format. It normally contains only about eight pages a day. There are no pictures on the "front" page, and no colour photographs at all. The Greek typeface used for headlines and most of the texts is [[Asteria (typeface)|Asteria]].

In 1876, [[Adonis Kyrou I]] founded a weekly publication named ''Ἑστία'', which was a literary magazine similar to the present-day [[Nea Estia]] (''Νέα Ἑστία'') rather than a news-focused paper. Not until 1894 did the well-known poet and journalist [[Georgios Drosinis]] transform it into a daily newspaper about politics, culture and finance. In 1941, during the occupation of Greece by the German army, ''Estia'' closed, but soon after the liberation it resumed its publication. ''Estia'' has been managed by the Kyrou family for more than 120 years. [[Adonis Kyrou II]] was its publisher from 1898 to 1918, [[Achilleus A. Kyrou]] from 1918 to 1950, [[Kyros Kyrou]] from 1950 to 1974, and [[Adonis Kyrou III]] from 1974 until 1997, when the paper was taken over by Kyrou's nephew [[Alexis Zaousis]]. The current editor-in-chief is L. Dimakopoulou.

Estia (Greek: Ἑστία, lit. 'hearth') is a Greek national daily broadsheet newspaper published in Athens, Greece. It was founded in 1876 as a literary magazine and then in 1894 has been transformed into a newspaper, making it Greece's oldest daily newspaper still in circulation. It is named after the ancient Greek goddess Hestia, one of the Twelve Olympians. Estia is widely regarded as right wing in terms of political alignment and most often referred to as “conservative” and “nationalist” and is readily distinguishable as the only Greek newspaper still employing the old-fashioned polytonic system of accentuation. An “opinion newspaper” with a writing style acknowledged to be “incisive” and with a loyal readership also described as “exclusive”, Estia is often treated not merely as a newspaper but as “an institution of bourgeois Athens”. On the 120th anniversary of its publication (March 12, 2014), the President of Greece Karolos Papoulias issued a congratulatory note[1] crediting the contribution of Estia to public life. Run as a family business for more than a century (1898–2015) and successively managed by the descendants of Adonis Kyrou, Estias Director since 2017 is Manolis Kottakis. Estia newspaper is owned, through “Estia Newspaper S.A.”, by Ioannis Filippakis.[2]

[edit]

In 1876, Pavlos Diomidis founded a weekly publication named Ἑστία, which was a literary magazine similar to the present-day Nea Estia (Νέα Ἑστία) rather than a news-focused paper. Not until 1894 did the well-known poet and journalist Georgios Drosinis transform it into a daily newspaper about politics, culture and finance. In 1941, during the occupation of Greece by the German army, Estia closed, but soon after the liberation it resumed its publication. Estia has been managed by the Kyrou family for more than 120 years. Adonis Kyrou was its publisher from 1898 to 1918, Achilleus A. Kyrou and Kyros A. Kyrou from 1918 to 1950, Kyros A. Kyrou from 1950 to 1974, and Adonis K. Kyrou from 1974 until 1997, when the paper was taken over by Kyrou's nephew Alexis Zaousis.
