'''''Ta Nea''''' ({{langx|el|Τα Νέα|italic=yes}}; Translation: ''The News'') is a daily [[newspaper]] published in [[Athens]]. It was owned by [[Lambrakis Press Group]] (DOL), which also published the newspaper ''[[To Vima]]''. The assets of DOL were acquired in 2017 by [[Alter Ego Media|Alter Ego Media S.A.]]<ref name=":0">{{cite news|title=Ta Nea suspends publication as takeover begins|url=http://www.ekathimerini.com/220817/article/ekathimerini/news/ta-nea-suspends-publication-as-takeover-begins|work=Kathimerini|date=10 August 2017|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Greek Court Confirms Transfer of Lambrakis Media Group to Vangelis Marinakis|url=http://greece.greekreporter.com/2017/07/25/greek-court-confirms-transfer-of-lambrakis-media-group-to-vangelis-marinakis/|work=GreekReporter.com|date=25 July 2017}}</ref>

The newspaper began publishing in 1931 under the title {{lang|el|Αθηναϊκά Νέα|italic=yes}} (''Athinaika Nea'', ''Athens News''), with the first issue being released on May 28. After the [[Axis occupation of Greece]], it changed its name simply to "Ta Nea".

''Ta Nea'' has been Greek's best-selling newspaper for decades, although the internet and the [[2008 financial crisis]] have affected its circulation.<ref name="Greek crisis">{{cite news|title=Greek Crisis Takes Toll on Media|url=http://greece.greekreporter.com/2012/12/10/greek-crisis-takes-toll-on-media/|access-date=January 31, 2014|newspaper=Greek reporter|date=December 10, 2012}}</ref> The circulation peaked at around 200,000 copies in the  1990s, but by 2008,  circulation had declined by more than half of its peak. It is a traditional center-left friendly newspaper,  in the 1980s and 1990s strongly supporting the [[PASOK|Panhellenic Socialist Movement]] (PASOK). Since 2017, it has adopted more centrist and right-wing views. Some of its prominent columnists include Aimilios Liatsos, Yannis Pretenderis, Pavlos Tsimas, Erifili Maroniti and [[Stavros Theodorakis]].

''Ta Nea'' is also the name of a related Greek Australian newspaper produced in [[Melbourne, Australia|Melbourne]] by Greek Media Group.
