Greece is the birthplace of democracy. But how free is Greece鈥檚 media? Nikos Papanikolaou travels to his home town, Athens, to speak to journalists who have had their phones hacked by an advanced new spyware, been sued for defamation, and been under surveillance by the Greek national intelligence agency. In the south of the city he visits the widow of the an investigative journalist murdered just outside their family home.

Nikos also hears from Members of the European Parliament, those who want the EU to withhold funds until Greece improves the position for journalists, and those outraged by the idea that Greece does not already have a free media.
