Kostas Pliakos (wideangle)

I was born in Athens, Greece in 1969. I thought I could become an economist but only managed to obtain my degree; that is because I was infected too soon with journalism virus.
While studying economics I also studied cinematography at the Hellenic Cinema & Television School Stavrakos (CILECT) and later journalism at the Panteion University of Athens. I did postgraduate studies in editing processes and digital editions in UOC (Barcelona, Spain) and in political communication in National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece).
I worked as a newspaper journalist since 1998 till 2015;  as a copy editor in the beging and later as a global news editor. I worked with CNN Greece as a video journalist and researcher for 6,5 years. From 2022, January until 2023 June I was the Supervising Producer at VICE Greece. From 2023 February I am the Video Supervising Producer with DPG media (CNN Greece, Newsbomb).
