Helen Vlachos ((ギリシア語:Ελένη Βλάχου), ; 18 December 1911 – 14 October 1995) was a legend of Greek journalism,〔〔 newspaper-publishing heiress, proprietor, and anti-junta activist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/631519/Helen-Vlachos )〕 Soon after the coup of 21 April 1967, she closed down her newspaper ''Kathimerini'' as a protest against the dictatorship. In October 1967, her description of one of the junta principals, Brigadier Stylianos Pattakos, then Minister of the Interior of the junta, as a clown, led to her house arrest, for which she later wrote a book under the same title. For her refusal to acquiesce to the Greek junta's demands that she censor her publications, her resistance against the regime of the colonels, and her contributions to freedom of the press, she was posthumously recognised as one of the World Press Freedom Heroes by the International Press Institute. ==Life== Helen Vlachos was the daughter, and only child,〔 of Georgios Vlachos who founded ''Kathimerini'', one of Greece's premier newspapers, in 1919.〔 She worked as a journalist in her father's newspaper and covered the Berlin Olympics in 1936.〔〔 During World War II, her father refused to cooperate with the Nazi occupation government and closed down ''Kathimerini''. During the war she worked as a nurse.〔 After the war, Helen Vlachos resumed working in her father's newspaper as a columnist. Her column was simply titled "E", for "Eleni", her name in Greek.〔 She became very popular in Greece because she often used to criticise the government from her column.〔 When her father died in 1951 she took ownership of ''Kathimerini'' (Daily) and expanded it by publishing the afternoon edition of the paper under the name ''Mesimvrini'' (Noon edition).〔 She published ''Eikones'' (Pictures), which was an illustrated magazine and the first of its kind in Greece. She also launched ''Galaxias'', a paperback, which became a collectible.〔 She had been a supporter of the monarchy and the Greek right-wing parties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helen Vlachos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
