“With feelings of pain her journalistic family ESIEP and his TEAS escort to his last residence the distinguished, dear colleague, a combative reporter for a number of years in the electronic and print media, Takis Theodorakopoulos.

The deceased was one of the journalists who struggled every day on a 24-hour basis for the timely and valid information of public opinion. He had a fruitful and constructive tenure both at ERT as a television and radio correspondent, and at the Lambrakis journalistic organization, as a correspondent at “STEP” and “NEWS».

Takis Theodorakopoulos started his journalistic career from ERT3 in Thessaloniki, where he studied economics. Later he came to Patras and staffed the then newly established (1980s – 1990s) studio of the television of Western Greece.

At the same time, he also worked at the radio station of Patras ERA.

The deceased was particularly loved by his colleagues with an active presence at ESIEPIN events. His colleagues had honored him with their vote and had previously nominated him as a member of the management of POESY.

As a struggling journalist, the lovable fellow literally lived with the agony of breaking the news and describing the events as he himself experienced them. That’s why he “left” standing on the ramparts on Friday night, after he had contacted his colleagues by phone a few hours earlier to find out if something was going on.

Takis was particularly loved by the local community and sports venues, as he was a track and field athlete, a long-distance runner, a champion of Panachai”.
