Bhutan Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bhutan Times is Bhutan's first privately owned newspaper, and only the second in the country after the government-run Kuensel. Its first edition 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 (see History of Bhutan).[1].
