Abstract
The period 1911–1922 is defined on the one hand by the beginning of the conflict-ridden attempt to modernize Greece and, on the other, by the Asia Minor Catastrophe and its multiple consequences. During these ten years the country took part in a series of wars, tested by the sharp confrontation between the king and the prime minister – which led to a rupture with civil war-like characteristics and faced a number of social problems – growing social inequality, internal migration and refugeehood. Did the press of that turbulent time settle by dedicating, during the celebration of the centenary of 1821, coverage of the festive events, to remind readers of moments of glory or passion from 1821 or to quote speeches delivered by prominent politicians and intellectuals? Or was the Greek Revolution, in all its symbolic significance – as the resurrection or rebirth of the nation, as the beginning of the independent course of the modern Greek state – used by the print media to serve the aims of the political parties in burning domestic and foreign policy issues?
