[02] Media election coverage in full swing

Nicosia, Feb 8 (CNA) -- Photographs and slogans backing the seven presidential hopefuls in today's elections feature prominently on the front pages of the local newspapers.

The eighth presidential elections are the main topic in both the written and electronic media. Television networks have day-long live coverage of today's events, with comments and analysis from election experts and political observers.

"Simerini" and "Phileleptheros" show pictures of all seven candidates for the presidency.

Incumbent President Glafcos Clerides' picture covers almost the entire front page of "Machi" and appears prominently on the front page of "Alithia".

The front and back pages of the daily "Ta Nea" are covered with a full picture of Socialist EDEK leader Vassos Lyssarides while "Haravgi" features independent candidate George Iacovou.

Foreign media representatives are also covering the elections, and some 40 Turkish Cypriot journalists have crossed to the government controlled areas of the Republic for the event.
