Fired Greek journalists turn to internet

Journalists fired from Greece’s state TV and radio have refused to leave the broadcaster’s headquarters, continuing internet programming as the country’s conservative-led government faced political crisis a year after taking office.

State TV and radio signals were cut early today after the government closed the Hellenic Broadcasting Corp, ERT, and fired its 2,500 workers, citing the need to cut “incredible waste” as the bailed out country endures a sixth year of recession.
