Press / News Agencies / Television / Radio / Press Associations

There are several news agencies in North Cyprus providing 'hot' news stories and feature articles on the most important events. These news reports are subsequently provided to other news media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television channels.
The The Turkish News Agency-Cyprus or TAK (from "Türk Ajansi Kibris") is the main news agency in North Cyprus disseminating TRNC news internationally and disseminating foreign news in the TRNC.
Established in 1973, TAK is managed by an Administrative Council and is "devoted to the principles of righteousness and impartiality in its dissemination of news both externally and internally". The agency currently employs 33 people, including 16 journalists. TAK delivers news from the TRNC to the biggest international news agencies: Reuters, AP, AFP, IRNA; and receives news from Reuters.
Throughout the country TAK provides its services to the print media, BRT and other TV channels and radios, newspapers in Turkey, Anadolu News Agency (AA), Turkish Radio TV Cooperation (TRT), foreign agencies and the member branches of the TRNC Government.
In 1997 TAK introduced a BBS system which enables the customers and partners to obtain the news stories through their computers. The news articles in Turkish are published on the agency's website.
