The Bhutan Times is Bhutan's first privately owned newspaper, and only the second in the country after the government owned and autonomous Kuensel. Its first edition, with 32 pages, hit the proverbial newsstands on April 30, 2006, with a high-profile interview of Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, the young crown prince of Bhutan, who had recently been designated to succeed his father as king in 2008.

  • The Bhutan Times is Bhutan's first privately owned newspaper, and only the second in the country after the government owned and autonomous Kuensel. Its first edition, with 32 pages, hit the proverbial newsstands on April 30, 2006, with a high-profile interview of Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, the young crown prince of Bhutan, who had recently been designated to succeed his father as king in 2008. The creation of a free press within Bhutan is recognized as an important step in the ongoing transformation of Bhutan into a democratic society.. The weekly paper came out on Sundays until December 2007 when the management decided to become a bi-weekly paper. Bhutan Times comes out on Wednesdays and Sundays. The private newspaper is run by a group of young reporters and editors. Another private newspaper called the Bhutan Observer was launched later in 2006.
  • The Bhutan Times est le premier quotidien privé du Bhoutan, et le deuxième en termes de diffusion, après le journal national Kuensel. La première édition parut le 30 avril 2006, publiant un entretien avec le prince héritier du Bhoutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, récemment désigné pour succéder à son père en 2008. La création d'une presse indépendante au Bhoutan a été reconnue comme une étape importante dans l'actuelle transformation du pays en un état démocratique. Bien qu'un quotidien en ligne, nommé lui aussi The Bhutan Times, existe depuis 2003, il n'a aucun lien avec le quotidien papier, qui ne dispose par ailleurs d'aucun site internet.
  • Bhutan Times er en privateid avis som utgis i Bhutan fra april 2006. Avisen eies og utgis av Bhutan Media Services, et privat mediaselskap i Bhutans hovedstad, Thimphu. Den vil komme ut hver søndag, og utgis på engelsk i starten, men må innen ett år også utgis på dzongkha. Avisen skal være selvstendig fra regjeringen, både med tanke på innhold og subsidier.
