His articles appeared in almost all the Athens dailies and magazines, becoming at the same time a publisher of two satirical newspapers, Noise and Capital City. He writes his articles sometimes using his real name and sometimes a pen name. In addition to journalism, Mitsakis is prolific in literary works.
