The Epoch Times
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.
Ethical Policy
During a time when the world is changing ever more quickly, people need reliable information to understand events and trends. We strive to make a positive impact on people's lives by helping all people understand the world and themselves, and to respect and appreciate each other. We report stories and air opinions unavailable elsewhere.
A human being's fundamental right is the right to be heard. We uphold and defend freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly. We are also strong advocates for freedom of belief, and for all human rights, for all people. We seek to speak out for those who are oppressed, and cannot speak for themselves. We speak to those in conflict, trying to show the common humanity they share, and the compassion that will help them truly respect the rights of others. The Epoch Times does not cover sensationalist news or items that are unhealthy for readers, both physically and spiritually.
The Epoch Times has strong reporting on ecological and environmental issues and is also known for its excellent alternative health coverage. The paper is hand delivered and distributed to people who want it rather than being forced onto passers by who then throw the paper away. Where facilities exist, the paper is printed on recycled paper and wastage is minimised.
Most of the Epoch Times staff work at home and the vast majority of meetings take place online to minimise travel and its environmental effects. The staff of Epoch Times is extremely widely diversified, with editions run by local people in 30 countries.
