Editors often adopted a social-democratic stance on a number of issues, but more radical viewpoints are also frequently represented in the paper, to a notably greater extent than in centre-left daily To Vima.

[3] Former editors and journalists of Eleftherotypia decided to open a new cooperative newspaper under the name Efimerida ton Syntakton.

[7] The newspaper's Sunday edition Kyriakatiki Eleftherotypia (Greek: Κυριακάτικη Ελευθεροτυπία) hosted select articles from Le Monde Diplomatique.

The Saturday and Sunday editions of Eleftherotypia often featured articles by a group of journalists who collectively use the name the "Ios" (Greek "Ιος" meaning "virus").

The Ios were known for targeting and heavily criticizing the Greek far right, the church, the army, the police and United States foreign policy.

In April 1977, Revolutionary Organization 17 November (17N) sent a manifesto to Eleftherotypia, titled "Reply to the parties and groups" ("Απάντηση στα κόμματα και τις οργανώσεις").

The preface of the manifesto stated that Eleftherotypia was chosen because "a) it reported with respect to the facts of the attacks and b) gave voice to the full spectrum of the Left, even when not accepting its causes".

Other Greek left-wing radical and terrorist organizations, such as ELA as well as small militant anarchist groups, also send their communiques exclusively to Eleftherotypia, under the assumption that the newspaper, while unlikely to be directly supportive, would be more likely to publicise their views.
