Political division is reflected in the media

The Cypriot media mirror the island's political division, with the Turkish-controlled zone in the north operating its own press and broadcasters.

State-run radio and TV compete with private operators, and relays of Greek and Turkish stations are on air across the island.

Freedom of speech is generally respected and a vibrant private press often criticises the authorities, says US-based Freedom House.

There were 1.1 million internet users in Cyprus by January 2022, 97% of the population, and 1.2 million Facebook users (Internetworldstats.com). Access is unrestricted, says Freedom House.
