In Greece, tens of thousands of people Thursday joined the country’s second general strike in less than a month to protest austerity measures. On Wednesday, Greek doctors, journalists and other workers walked off the job to protest austerity measures they say will worsen unemployment, which is already over 25 percent. Journalist Eleni Iliopoulou said the situation is bleak.

Eleni Iliopoulou: “For us [journalists], the crisis is permanent. There is no media company, whether it’s television, radio, internet or wherever, that is not firing its workers or driving them to poverty. Wages are extremely low, and there are very few professional reporters that are still being paid properly as staff.”
