The New Times is a national English-language newspaper in Rwanda. It was established in 1995 shortly after the genocide against the Tutsi. A Kinyarwanda-language weekly called Izuba Rirashe was previously published.[1]
The New Times is published in Kigali from Monday to Saturday, with its sister paper the Sunday Times, appearing on Sundays. The New Times Online was launched in 2006.[2] The New Times often conveys optimistic stories about events in Rwanda.[3]
In May 2009, Human Rights Watch (HRW) described The New Times as a state-owned newspaper in a rebuttal to an editorial article that accused HRW of "sanitizing people who were attempting to negate the 1994 genocide in Rwanda". The New Times did not publish the HRW rebuttal.[4] In 2010, president Paul Kagame said that The New Times has been too servile to him and his party, and asked the Aga Khan to launch an alternative.[5]
