Save the Athens News

Slightly off topic, news reaches us today that the legendary Athens News, one of the oldest and most respected English-language papers in continental Europe, is to close.

The Athens News - which has been a fan of Athens In Your Pocket from the beginning - has been around for 57 years and is faced with immediate closure, as soon as the end of this week. The editorial team is trying to put together a rescue package: read about or even contribute to their campaign here: http://saveathensnews.wordpress.com/
