The New Times is a national English language newspaper in Rwanda. It was established in 1995 shortly after the end of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. The paper states that it is privately-owned, with two shareholders. It is published in Kigali from Monday to Saturday with the sister paper the Sunday Times appearing on Sundays. The New Times Online was launched in 2003.[1] The New Times typically conveys optimistic stories about events in Rwanda - with some justification given the many improvements since the civil war.[2]

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 accused HRW of sanitizing people who were attempting to negate the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The New Times did not publish the HRW rebuttal.[3] 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.[4]
