Abstract

Based on the analysis of British publications with various political bias of 1946–1949, the article examines how objectively the British media covered the positions of Great Britain, the United States, and the USSR in relation to the Greek civil war at its initial stage. The situation in Greece occupied the newspaper pages. The authors show the role of newspapers at the beginning of the Cold War as a major tool of information influence in the UK and  some Western countries.  A study of the UK print landscape of the specified period reveals the way newspapers that did not always agree with their country’s policy interpreted Greece’s internal political problems, the threat of the Greek conflict outbreak, its escalation, and the debate on this issue in the UN Security Council. During the conflict, Greece continued to play a significant role in international relations and in the foreign policy of the great powers.
