Kuensel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuensel was the sole newspaper in Bhutan up until April 2006 when it was joined by the Bhutan Times. Founded in 1967 as an internal government bulletin and transformed in 1986 into a weekly newspaper, Kuensel is published in three language editions: Dzongkha (the national language), English, and Nepali.
In 1992 it was made an autonomous corporation, but continued to receive a government subsidy. In 1996 the size of the paper was expanded from 12 to 16 pages in Dzongkha and English and from 8 to 12 in Nepali.
