Greece in the Headlines
Whether it be the economic crisis, the following protests and bailouts, the influx of refugees, or the newly-hot art scene, Greece has spent quite some time in international headlines over the past few decades. But the story as told to an international audience can sometimes miss the nuances of the reality on the ground, can sometimes cling to specific tropes. So how has the story of Greece evolved since the 2000s? And what was happening beyond the frames of the news coverage that reached the world?
We spoke to Sudha Nair, who has worked as a reporter and correspondent for the BBC, France 24 and TV 2 over the course of the past two decades, about what she has covered in her time in Greece, the stories that weren't often headlines, and how the narrative about Greek has changed.
