History[]

Founded in 1957 by Dimitri Gogos, Bill Stefanou and noted author . The newspaper is published by Ethnic Publications Pty Ltd.

In its early days, the newspaper was heavily left-leaning, and was considered radical by the Greek community in Australia although it soon grew in popularity.[2] Neos Kosmos was known to advocate for issues which impacted the Greek community, like unionization and worker's rights.[3][4]

The paper was monitored by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation during the Vietnam War, due to its frequent publication of anti-conscription and anti-war sentiments.[5]

It has been published in Greek as a broadsheet on Monday and Thursday and as a tabloid in English and Greek on Saturday since August 2010.(designed by Art Director Stephanos Freund)
