Fortunately no one was hurt, as the offices had been evacuated, but in the Neo Faliro area of Athens, a bomb was set off outside the offices of Skai TV on Monday morning. You can see it happen about 1 minute into this video:
As far as I can tell, no one in particular has claimed responsibility, beyond “anti democratic forces”, but given Skai is a private station (ERT is the Greek government station), it seems an odd target to pick.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
