**Dr. Manolis Paraschos**, journalism historian at Emerson College, discusses the history of Vienna’s dynamic and wealthy Greek community of the 18th and 19th centuries and how this community saw it as its patriotic duty to keep the enslaved mainland Greeks educated. Despite opposition by the Ottoman government, Vienna soon became a publishing center for expatriate Greeks and attracted some of the biggest names of those who planned the 1821 Greek Revolution against Turkey. The first four Greek newspapers and two magazines were published in Vienna starting in 1790. The first newspaper in mainland Greece was started in Kalamata in 1821. Dr. Paraschos presents an authentic copy of one of these first Greek newspapers, as well as other original British and American newspapers of the time. **Rhea Lesage**, Librarian for Hellenic Studies and Coordinator for the Classics for Widener Library at Harvard University, introduces Dr. Paraschos.
