About Kostas Pliakos

I was born in Athens, Greece in 1969. I thought I could become an economist but only managed to obtain my degree; that is because I was infected too soon with journalism virus.

While studying economics I also studied cinematography at the Hellenic Cinema & Television School Stavrakos (CILECT) and later journalism at the Panteion University of Athens. I did postgraduate studies in editing processes and digital editions in UOC (Barcelona, Spain) and in political communication in National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece).

I worked as a newspaper journalist since 1998 till 2015; for a short while in Ethnos and Exousia dailies and from 1999 until 2015 in the well-known Greek newspaper Eleftheros Typos as a global news editor. In the meantime I collaborated - and still collaborating - with magazines, TV and radio stations and agencies in Greece and abroad. I worked with CNN Greece as a video journalist and researcher for 6,5 years and from 2022, January until 3023 June I was the Supervising Producer at VICE Greece.
