As the largest geographically spanning union of journalists in Greece, the organization is marking 100 years of service to journalism and society.

An exhibition is currently running at the Epirus Historical Archive Museum in Ioannina, featuring unique items from the ESEPHN Press Museum, which is also celebrating its 70th anniversary.
