Konstantinoupolis (newspaper)

Konstantinoupolis (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις, "Constantinople"), originally Heptalophos or Eptalofos (Ἑπτάλοφος, "City of Seven Hills"), was a Greek-language newspaper and periodical published in the Ottoman Empire.

The historian Johann Strauss wrote that Konstantinoupolis "was long to remain the most widely read Greek paper in the Ottoman Empire." An employee, Manuel Gedeon, stated that the style of the periodical was similar to that of Revue des Deux Mondes.

According to historians Evangelia Balta and Ayșe Kavak, Konstantinoupolis "went down in the history of the Istanbul press as setting the seal on [Ottoman Greek newspaper and legal code publisher Demetrius Nicolaides]'s career in journalism". They also wrote that its popularity was reflected by the long length of publication.

The newspaper was published daily for much of its history, though initially it was a thrice weekly publication.
