Cyprus Mail is one of the two English-language daily newspapers published in Cyprus. It is the oldest surviving daily newspaper in Cyprus, established in 1945. It claims to take a completely independent political position and has no political affiliations.It is published daily (except Mondays), and most of the local articles are available online on the newspaper's website.
In its early years the Cyprus Mail was the main rival to The Cyprus Times (also known as The Times of Cyprus) another English language newspaper founded in Cyprus during the period of British rule. At that time the Cyprus Mail was widely seen to be to the political right of the more socially liberal Cyprus Times, especially in its tendency to oppose Enosis i.e. union with Greece.[3] With the demise of the Cyprus Mail Times in 1960 the Cyprus Mail remained the only English language newspaper in Cyprus until the establishment of the Cyprus Weekly in 1979. The Cyprus Weekly is the top-selling English-language newspaper in Cyprus, with a circulation exceeding 14,000 copies. It is published every Friday. The Editor in Chief is Lefteris Adilinis. The Managing Editor is Charlie Charalambous while the sports editor is John Leonidou. The photographer is Stefanos Kouratzis. In 2013, The Cyprus Weekly launched a twin newspaper called The Cyprus Daily which was published from Monday and Friday, with the publication day of the weekly edition moved to Saturdays. However publication of the daily edition ceased the same year and the Cyprus Weekly returned to being published on Fridays.
