Dimitri Gogos (13 February 1931 – 20 May 2019) was a Greek-Australian journalist and editor known for founding the Melbourne-based Greek community newspaper Neos Kosmos.
Dimitri Gogos was born in Chios on February 13, 1931, to Greek immigrants from Asia-Minor.[1] In 1950, he immigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where he worked as a waiter and busboy before finding work in various factories, including General Motors Holden. Gogos later reflected that he experienced discrimination as a Greek immigrant teenager in Australia.[2] After working a stint at the Australia Post, he began working as a reporter and journalist in his spare time for publications like The Olympic Youth Club, The Australian Greek Review and The Australian Greek.[3]
In 1957, Gogos bought the Greek Communist newspaper Australoellinas, and was its sole editor.[4] He later founded his own newspaper Neos Kosmos.[5] The first edition of Neos Kosmos was published on February 13, 1957, the occasion of Gogos' 26th birthday.[6] Gogos was an advocate for Hellenic culture and the rights of Greek workers, and his political position greatly influenced Neos Kosmos.[7]
He is the grandfather of Australian actress Olympia Valance.[8]
