The Cyprus media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Cyprus' front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. The 5 titles tracked here span the spectrum — 1 we place on the left, 3 near the centre and 1 on the right — so a comparison can genuinely cross editorial lines rather than sampling one side twice.
By kind of outlet, the 5 titles break down as 3 daily newspapers (Cyprus Mail, Kathimerini Cyprus and Alithia) and 2 news portals (in-cyprus and Dialogos). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Cyprus, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Cyprus sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 9th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 29th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Southern Europe with hubs of their own are Spain (13), Italy (10), Portugal (7), Greece (6), Slovenia (6), Croatia (6), Serbia (6), Malta (5), Bosnia and Herzegovina (5), Montenegro (5), Albania (5), North Macedonia (4), Kosovo (3), Andorra (3) and San Marino (2).

Which are Cyprus' main news outlets?
Across Cyprus' editorial spectrum, Crosswire currently lists on the left, Dialogos; near the center, Cyprus Mail, in-cyprus and Kathimerini Cyprus; on the right, Alithia. Each outlet below links to a full profile — its facts, editorial leaning and a live front-page preview — and the comparison view above shows any of them side by side.
The Cyprus Mail is Cyprus's oldest English-language daily newspaper, published in print and online. It covers Cypriot politics, the economy and society as well as regional and international affairs. The paper serves both local readers and the island's substantial international community, and is a long-standing reference point for English-language news on Cyprus.
in-cyprus is an English-language news website covering Cyprus, affiliated with the Greek-Cypriot media group behind Philenews. It provides coverage of local politics, business, society and culture for English-speaking residents and international readers. The site offers an accessible entry point to Cypriot news for those who do not read Greek.
Kathimerini Cyprus is the Cypriot edition of the Kathimerini media brand, publishing news in Greek and English. It covers Cypriot and Greek politics, business, foreign affairs and culture for readers on the island and beyond. Like the wider Kathimerini family, it is generally associated with a centre-right editorial tradition and quality reporting.
Alithia, Greek for 'Truth', is a long-established Greek-language Cypriot newspaper historically aligned with the centre-right of Greek Cypriot politics and supportive of the island's liberal-conservative tradition. Continuing today as the news site Alithia Online, it covers Cypriot politics, the economy, the Cyprus problem and international affairs from that standpoint.
Dialogos is the news portal of the media group linked to AKEL, Cyprus's major left-wing party, continuing the tradition of the historic left daily Haravgi and radio station Astra. Publishing in Greek, it covers Cypriot politics, labour issues, the economy and culture, presenting news and analysis from the perspective of the island's organized left.
