1922 by Dimitris Lambrakis, the father of Christos Lambrakis, current head of the company. It is owned byLambrakis Press which also publishes the newspaper "Ta Nea " and many other publications. "To Vima" is a high profile newspaper inGreece , published daily except on Mondays, and its flagship is the Sunday edition, whose current managing editor is Stavros Psycharis.The newspaper features as columnists prominent
journalists within the Greek media, including Yiannis Pretenderis and Vassilis Moulopoulos. Some of the newspaper's regular columnists include academics, university professors (such asKonstantinos Tsoukalas ,Nikos Mouzelis orDimitris Psychogios who contributes under anom-de-plume ), political scientists and a number ofpoliticians . The Sunday edition of the newspaper used to be a staple of Greek press, while today it competes both with the centre-left "To Proto Thema" and the more radical "Eleftherotypia ". "To Vima", by Greek standards, is considered left-of-center and is politically aligned with the Greek socialist partyPASOK - indeed this also applies to all publications of Lambrakis Press. Some of its former editors have occupied to key ministerial positions with the left, such asPetros Efthimiou and Georgos Romeos. It is also not uncommon for some of its journalists to stand for parliament - again mostly with PASOK.External links
