The news ladies reveal everything we don’t know about their profession, tell us personal stories, shed light on the invisible side of their career and answer questions about the difficulties and challenges of their job. It takes daily hard work, including adhering to strict deadlines, making quick decisions, sobriety and keeping calm under pressure, and the ingenuity required to bring out a news product that can be born live on air.Īuthor Christos Homenidis welcomes in the ExpertsTalk section of ImpactTalk four leading Greek news presenters, the journalists: Elli Stai, Mara Zaharea, Sia Kosioni and Niki Lymperaki, in a discussion about the present and the future of Greek TV newscast.

Dynamic journalists with extensive experience in front of and behind the cameras undertake the daily information of the public, having cultivated a relationship of intimacy and, above all, trust with it. Women have dominated the newscasts of the country's channels.
