The Hellenic News of America was founded in 1987, by Paul Kotrotsios, MBA, a graduate of the University of Thessaloniki, and St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA., and an independent team of Greek Americans who recognized the need for a high quality publication promoting and preserving Hellenism, targeting the Greek American community in the tri-state area as well as nationwide. The Hellenic News of America is a Member of the Delaware Press Club, Pennsylvania Publishers Association, Elomme and Olomme.

The newspaper has been a strong factor in developing communication and cohesion among the Greek American communities in the area it serves. It is a national leader in supporting and developing Greek American business networking. The newspaper organizes and sponsors the Hermes Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Javits Center in New York and Navy Pier in Chicago. The Expo is a two-day trade and business show where businesses set up booths from which they promote their products or services. Even though the participating businesses are mostly owned by Greek Americans, the event is widely attended by both the Greek American community and the American community social, political, cultural and business organizations. Hellenic News of America, together with the Hermes Expo, are at the forefront of business development and networking in the Greek American community. In this way, the newspaper provides, not only a strong social, cultural and community bond but also the bond of networking in the business world.

The Hellenic News of American is continuously looking to expand its influence and reach more Greek Americans and Phil Hellenes on a national scale. The following communities have been selected as target areas to accomplish this purpose: Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Washington DC. Metropolitan areas in addition to New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maryland. Success in publishing in these additional cities requires strong local assistance and participation. These communities will receive 3, 000 newspapers mailed directly to business people in the region and be provided with two to eight pages each for their local news and advertising. The monthly level of advertising income and subscription sponsorship from each community is projected to be substantial with the involvement of the local members of these vibrant communities.
