The Epoch Times Introduction

Honest news. Not biased. Completely straight-forward. Not emotionally going up and down. Bringing morality back to newspapers. Honest, old-fashioned journalism. You’re presenting the facts, and letting the reader decide.” The Epoch Times is a fearlessly independent news media that publishes in 35 countries and 21 languages. Truth and Tradition is our motto. Founded as an antidote to communist propaganda, today we’re quickly becoming a household name across America. Our subscribers thank us for our relentless and unbiased coverage. Jasper Fakkert, our editor-in-chief says, “I’ve been a part of The Epoch Times for nearly a decade because I’ve seen there’s no other major media outlet in the world as devoted to real journalism. The Epoch Times has never had any corporate or political agenda. We only serve our readers, and we’ll stay that way, no matter what.” We connected the dots around Spygate, the Obama administration’s elaborate efforts against Trump’s 2016 campaign. We often break news months ahead of other media on topics such as Chinese espionage, cyberwarfare, subversion in America, and more. But our authoritative reporting didn’t only just begin. We are tried and true. "Our paper was born out of the need to respond to a human rights catastrophe in China,” says Stephen Gregory, our publisher. "It was enabled by the Communist Party’s vicious and dishonest propaganda. We soon learned that Western media were picking up and amplifying the lies. The Epoch Times' truthful reporting exposed the Communist Party’s lies for the Chinese people, but it also helped protect our Western audience. It disabused for them the lies in this propaganda. Our reporting has also helped uncover how communist ideas are taking root in our own country. The Epoch Times started as a small and unknown publication in one of the toughest media markets in the world. We have built it through hard work and trial and error. We were founded in the year 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia by Chinese-Americans who had fled communist China. Our independent reporting came at a price. Our staff members in China were jailed and tortured for their reporting, some for as long as 10 years. Because our founders believed in truthfulness, compassion and tolerance, the principles of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, they felt such sacrifices were worth it to ensure for the world an independent, honest media, one that would report on the most pressing issues of our time. As many major media are losing people’s trust and declining further every day, the fastest-growing newspaper in America delivers truth and tradition. TheEpochTimes.com - Look us up today.
