EDITORIAL

Knockout fines for profiteers The recent wave of horrifying reports about unsuitable food products making their way onto the local market is due merely to increasing profiteering at the expense of public health. It is, primarily, a result of intensified inspections by the responsible authorities. Some say the stricter and more regular controls are a public relations exercise by prefects who are responsible for the issue ahead of local elections in October.

COMMENTARY

Whose news? The following question is directed at those who remember the good old days, but it is equally relevant today. Can you imagine any of the old newspaper publishers like Nassos Botsis, Panos Kokkas, Kyros Kyrou, Georgios Athanasiadis or Eleni Vlachou appearing nightly in television windows to offer live commentary on the news of the day?
