Greece's state media on Wednesday holds a second consecutive 24-hour strike. According to the Union of journalists, news will be broadcast no sooner than on the morning of February 7.

The strike has been joined by staff of Greek state television, the Athens News Agency, the parliamentary channel, and several radio stations.

The journalists seek collective labor agreements, and demand an end to salary cuts targeting media workers.
