fokidanews.gr is a digital cooperative hyperlocal media outlet.
“It is not that the world has gotten worse. It is simply that the coverage of events has gotten much better”, the English writer Gilbert Chesterton once wrote. Whether the world has gotten worse is a subjective opinion of each person, but the coverage of events has certainly gotten much better in recent years.
But not for everyone. For example, not for the Parnassos region, the local communities and communities of people who live, are active at all levels or simply draw their origin around it. This deficit, which is primarily cultural, is what iparnassos.gr aspires to cover from now on.
The electronic portal you are reading at the moment is a digital newspaper. Its field of reference is, as its name suggests, the area - narrower and wider - of Parnassos. And if we have to speak at an administrative level, the northern sector of Parnassida and more broadly Phocis, Phthiotis with its epicenter in Amphicleia, Elateia and Tithorea, but also Locris and of course the capital of the prefecture and Boeotia with its starting point in Arachova, Antikyra and Distomo, but also its gaze spreading to the foothills of Helicon and the Kopaida plain.
A region that, its narrow core at least, to this day constitutes something of a pariah of developments at a regional level, as the “lights” and attention are focused on the administrative centers and capitals of the reference prefectures of iparnassos, recalling the old saying and known to the old-timers “Greece is not only Athens”. ΄
Thus, this medium aspires to bring to the fore the political, economic, cultural, sporting and, most importantly, social footprint of a region that now declares its own dynamic presence in the formation of the best possible conditions for a livable future. In a territorial “territory” whose cohesive bond at a spatial and cultural level is Parnassos and the identities it encompasses. So that these local societies can put their own agenda at the prefecture and regional level in the foreground, in a world where the local is once again gaining primary importance, in an era when, as the covid pandemic proves at all levels, the key to tomorrow lies in the empowerment of the community. The community that iparnassos wants to shape with you!
This digital newspaper is hyperlocal, multimedia and interactive.
It is hyperlocal because, while it deals with the pulse of the local societies of Phocis, Phthiotis and Boeotia, it can be accessible by anyone from anywhere. To be the platform for expression of the people who live and create in these lands, but also to be read by locals who live in other areas and seek conditions of greater connection with their ancestral lands and their gods. Visitors to Parnassos and its sub-regions, and by all those who are interested in learning the news of this area for any reason of their own. And we aspire to act so that as time goes by, they become more and more numerous. In other words, “think locally, act globally”. Technology and iparnassos allow us to do so!
It is multimedia, because to cover what is happening around us it will use every means offered by modern technology. Texts, photos, videos, audio, hyperlinks, social media and email. Sometimes to build communication between us as members of the iparnassos community, sometimes to journalistically choose the medium (or combination) that best conveys the facts with completeness, accuracy and comprehensiveness.
