Konstantinoupolis (newspaper)

Konstantinoupolis (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις, "Constantinople"), originally Heptalophos or Eptalofos (Ἑπτάλοφος, "City of Seven Hills"), was a Greek-language newspaper and periodical published in the Ottoman Empire.

The historian Johann Strauss wrote that Konstantinoupolis "was long to remain the most widely read Greek paper in the Ottoman Empire."[1] An employee, Manuel Gedeon,[2] stated that the style of the periodical was similar to that of Revue des Deux Mondes.[3]

According to historians Evangelia Balta and Ayșe Kavak, Konstantinoupolis "went down in the history of the Istanbul press as setting the seal on [Ottoman Greek newspaper and legal code publisher Demetrius Nicolaides]'s career in journalism".[4] They also wrote that its popularity was reflected by the long length of publication.[5]

The newspaper was published daily for much of its history, though initially it was a thrice weekly publication.[2]
