Hellenica is launching paid subscriptions
Free posts won't stop, but there will be a wealth of material paying subscribers won't find elsewhere
Dear Readers,
After six months of free posts, I am adding posts exclusive to paying subscribers.
I am doing this because too many developments - and alternative perspectives - are going unreported in the world’s most important democracies, which tend to make their editorial decisions with an eye on what everyone else is doing. The result is a feeding frenzy on some topics, and too little on others. The fact that we heard little about the smouldering war in Ukraine between 2014 and 2022 is a case in point.
This experiment in self-sustaining publishing stems mainly from the collapse of newspapers’ and television networks’ traditional business models, which has led to Western media having fewer resources to cover southeast Europe and the eastern Mediterranean.
The free posts will continue, and I thank you for reading them. I invite you to additionally consider the benefits of the regional analysis, history, brief asides and a detailed timeline on the Ukraine war, which aren’t published elsewhere.
Coming later this evening: Turkey and the Russia Card, my take on why Turkey’s foreign policy of transactional deals with mutually opposed interests isn’t working.
