History

The newspaper was founded after Adrian Fraser, Bassy Alexander and Renwick Rose left The News due to disagreements with that paper's editor.[4] The first edition was published on 7 April 1995. The paper is published on Fridays (both print and online) and on Tuesdays (online only). As of 2021, the CEO and editor is Ms. Clare Keizer.[5][6]

For the newspaper's 20th anniversary in 2015, Interactive Media Ltd. helped to establish the nonprofit Norma Keizer Scholarship Foundation; Norma Keizer was the first managing editor. The foundation awards scholarships and bursaries to secondary school students.[7][8][9]
