Τhe purpose of this paper is to focus on Greek correspondents and (a) present their views and critiques on the way that EU news are presented by Greek media organizations, (b) analyze their opinions on Greek citizens’ level of information regarding EU affairs and (c) record their suggestions and possible remedies to address EU’s communication deficit. In this direction, EU-media relations are adopted as an analytical framework to discuss the communication deficit within the realm of EU democratic shortcomings. Based on the findings we develop recommendations and suggestions that could facilitate and contribute to the legitimacy of the EU and consequently also enhance trust in European institutions
