Fiji Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fiji Times is a daily newspaper published in Fiji. Established in Levuka on 4 September 1869, it is Fiji's oldest newspaper still operating.
The Fiji Times is owned by the Fiji Times Limited. Its board is chaired by Ross McDonald (as of 1996), and includes Mahendra Motibhai Patel (appointed 1974). A third position on the board is held by Adi Davila Toganivalu, a businesswoman named on 7 January 2006 to replace Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi, a former judge who resigned from the board upon becoming (in 2005) the Vice-President of Fiji. The Managing Director is Anthony Yianni (since 2001); the Company Secretary is Umesh Prasad (since 2004).
The Rabuka administration censored the Fiji Times for a while following the first military coup of 14 May 1987. In protest, the newspaper published an edition with large blank spaces, where articles censored by the military would have been placed.
An online edition is published, featuring local news, sport and weather, but without any of the international features from the print version.
