As the sister publication of Ethnikos Kyrix, over 106 years old, and the only daily Greek-language publication in North America, The National Herald was founded in 1997 as a response to popular demand: to meet the needs of emerging generations of Greek Americans whose primary language was English.
Our readers want to be informed of what’s going on in the Greek American community, the Hellenic Diaspora as well as what’s going on in Greece and in Cyprus – all in the English language.
The National Herald is a direct response to this need. It presents news, opinions, and feature stories of paramount interest to Greek-Americans.
Published weekly for Saturday home delivery in the New York Metropolitan area and delivered via the post office throughout the United States, TNH has grown by leaps and bounds and is now the leading English language newspaper serving Greeks throughout North America.
Besides the print edition, TNH’s website (as well as the Greek language version ekirikas.com) receives thousands of subscriptions annually from all around the country and the world. We are the Greek paper of record in North America, and intend to be recognized as the Greek website of record as well.
The wonders of modern technology, as reflected in our new, state-of-the-art website, provide a dual benefit to our readers:
1) The opportunity to read TNH from anywhere in the world
2) Access to breaking news, provocative opinions, new recipes, travel tips, and many other features every single day.
Ethnikos Kirix is founded by Petros Tatanis, a merchant from Amaliada, Greece on April 2, 1915.
Eugene Rossides, founder of the American Hellenic Institute, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Nixon Administration, becomes publisher.
The newspaper relocates from Manhattan to its privately-owned headquarters in Long Island City. The newspaper also maintains offices in Boston, Athens, and Nicosia.

After the success of the initial home delivery launch, TNH expands its deliver reach to include subscribers in the New England area.

The newspaper obtains its own high-speed presses so that the entirety of the printing process occurs in-house with its own equipment.
TNH begins offering home delivery to subscribers in New York and its surrounding states.
Antonis H. Diamataris completes his 33rd year as publisher, becoming the longest-serving publisher in Ethnikos Kirix’s history, surpassing the tenure of Petros Tatanis.
