Cyprus Media
The press was an active participant in political life
in the
"TRNC," and there was increasing controversy over the role
of the
progovernment press in influencing election outcomes.
There was no
law regulating media behavior or ethics. The
state-controlled radio
and television was 80 percent fed from Turkish national
television.
There were ten daily papers in the north in 1990, three
owned by
pro-Denktas business magnate Asil Nadir, three affiliated
with
parties, and four independents, including one that focused
on
financial matters.
