Phileleftheros

( Source : Aspect of Cyprus)

Phileleftheros (Greek: Ό Φιλελεύθερος, meaning "The Liberal") is the largest newspaper (by circulation) in Cyprus, with about 26,000 copies daily. Established in 1951, it is also the oldest still-circulating Greek paper on the island.

Over the years it has expanded into a publishing company and has released several magazines (including the Cyprus editions of Cosmopolitan and Top Gear), as well as recently launching its own radio station, Radio Sfera.

In a newspaper scene otherwise dominated by political parties, Phileleftheros prides itself as being independent and not under the influence of a particular political party. The paper's moto reads: "Ημερήσια Εφημερίδα στην Υπηρεσία του Κυπριακού Λαού" which translates into English as the "Daily newspaper serving the people of Cyprus".
