SaskiaUnreserved now in print

“It’s important to give a voice to people whose opinion matters,” says Saskia Constantinou about her book SaskiaUnreserved: In Print, published by Armida Publishers, which will be launched on Wednesday at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia.

Saskia is a producer and presenter at the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation, working for the International Channel. It is since 2018 however, with the advent of the 4th radio channel – RIKClassic, that one of her dreams has become a reality: to have a no-holds-barred conversation without the usual time constraints observed by media, with experienced people whose opinions matter.

Her SaskiaUnreserved programme on RIK Radio 4 is followed and loved by many and now Saskia is taking her craft a step further. “As a daily programme,” she comments, “there have been over 280 interviews in the year, but it was only in late August that I thought of compiling a book of written interviews, hence SaskiaUnreserved: In Print.”

The book comprises interviews with 24 internationally renowned people from entrepreneurs to visual artists, from musicians to cyber security experts, from business managers and economists to many highly acclaimed doctors, scientists and mathematicians. “I really feel honoured to have been privy to open and frank discussions, and hope in some way their brilliant work and contributions to society have been brought further to the fore and inspire our community in many different ways.”

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.
