1 小时 2 分钟Welcome to the LSE events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Okay, thank you.
We're starting.
Dear colleagues and friends, Your Excellency Ambassador Mr. Tsaousis, Your Excellency Ambassador Mr. Kuris,
dear students, guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2026 Annual Lecture of the Hellenic Observatory,
what is now the LSE Centre for Research on Contemporary Greece and Cyprus.
Today's event is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences at the LSE, and we're very proud to have been...
Able to include our annual lecture into this program.
Our speaker for today is one of the most eminent public figures in Greece,
who has distinguished himself in journalism and in public life,
and I'm sure he is well known to definitely most of you.
Mr. Alex Papachelas is executive editor of the Greek newspaper Kathimerini,
one of the leading newspapers in the country, and leading commentator for Sky TV, the Greek TV network.
Mr. Papahelas has a very distinguished career in journalism.
He studied history and economics at Barth College in the U.S.
And received a master's in international affairs and journalism at Columbia University.
He started in the early 80s his career in New York City,
working as correspondent for the, as I say, left-wing AVGI newspaper.
And subsequently worked for many years as the US Correspondent for Καθημερινή,
