Kenevezou has presented last show

High-profile CyBC news anchor and presenter Emilia Kenevezou presented her last show on Friday after failing to agree on a new pay deal with the management.

Kenevezou had refused to accept a pay cut – from around €6,000 a month to €4,500 – and to work more hours, 38, instead of 23.

She is the sister of former education minister and DIKO member Kyriacos Kenevezos, the godson of the late President Tassos Papadopoulos and currently the Cypriot ambassador to Greece.

The Athens posting was a consolation prize from President Nicos Anastasiades for Kenevezos having to quit his cabinet post when DIKO withdrew from the government earlier this year.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
