About Cosmos Philly
Cosmos Philly is an independent Greek-American news and multimedia publication based in Philadelphia, producing original reporting, community news, and cultural coverage since 2011.
We give voice to the people who make Greek Philadelphia what it is, from parish volunteers to young athletes, from neighborhood business owners to our societies and organizations.
What We Do
Our goal is simple: keep the culture alive.
Each week, we document the events and everyday moments that define Greek life in the region. Whether it’s a church festival, a GOYA basketball game, a wedding, or a baptism, we’re there with our cameras, microphones, and hearts open.
Through video, photography, blogs, and news features, we build a living archive of the Greek-American experience in Philadelphia and keep our connection to the wider Hellenic world strong.
Editorial Standards
Cosmos Philly publishes original reporting, community news, and cultural coverage based on first-hand reporting, interviews, and verified sources.
We strive for accuracy and fairness in all of our work. If an error is identified, we correct it promptly and update the article accordingly.
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and partners.
Why It Matters
Culture isn’t static. It’s lived.
Cosmos Philly exists to make sure future generations know where they come from and how their community has evolved. Since 2011, we have grown into one of the most active Greek-American multimedia forums in the Philadelphia area, producing hundreds of original stories and features every year.
Our work reaches a growing audience locally, nationally, and internationally — readers and viewers who care about Hellenism, family, and identity.
