Petros Demertzis – Journalist / Field Producer / Fixer (Greece & S-E Europe)

I am a bilingual Greek journalist, field-producer and fixer with 25+ years of front-line experience delivering news, features and documentaries for leading international broadcasters and digital outlets. Based in Athens but covering all of Greek territories, i provide full-spectrum support—from story development and research to on-the-ground logistics, filming and translation—across Greece and the wider Balkans.

Since 1998 i've coordinated assignments on climate & environment, agriculture, tourism, politics, business and social affairs for clients such as Euronews, American, German and French public TV networks, pan-European magazines and global wire agencies. I'm also known for my deep contact book, rapid turnaround on complex permits (drone, archaeological, maritime), and my ability to secure candid access to farmers, policymakers, academics, celebrities and grassroots voices alike.

Core services
• Story pitching, research & scripting
• Location scouting & logistics (crew vans, accommodation, kit hire)
• Live & recorded translation / on-camera interpreting (Greek-English-Greek)
• Production management, release forms, expense control, safety & risk cover

Languages: Greek (native), English (fluent), French and Spanish (conversational)
Travel: EU passport, rapid deployment across Mediterranean & Balkans.

I can couple journalistic rigor with a fixer’s practicality, ensuring crews hit the ground running and leave with broadcast-ready material—on time and on budget.
