The New Times is a national English language newspaperinRwanda. It was established in 1995 shortly after the Rwandan genocide. They also used to have a Kinyarwanda-language weekly called Izuba Rirashe.[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] President Paul Kagame has said that The New Times has been too servile to him and his party, and has asked the Aga Khan to launch an alternative.[5]
