The Epoch Times is an independent voice in print and on the web. We report news responsibly and truthfully so that readers can improve their own lives and increase their understanding and respect for their neighbours next door and around the globe. In our approach and in our content, we uphold universal human values, rights, and freedoms.

The Epoch Times is a privately held news media company. Our network of local reporters throughout the world uncovers stories that are authentically local, yet also globally relevant. Our independence enables us to report widely and present a diversity of opinions.

The English edition of The Epoch Times launched in September 2003 on the web, and in August 2004 as a newspaper in New York. The UK edition launched in London in April 2005. It meets a growing need for news reported and published independently, uncovering stories that have depth and meaning to people. We have offices in 30 countries across five continents, and our content is published in 17 languages. The Epoch Times will continue to expand news coverage and newspaper distribution in more regions, and with editions in more languages.
