The Caribbean Times was a British weekly newspaper that was first published in 1981 by Hansib Publications, a publishing house for Caribbean, African and Asian writers and their communities, founded in London by Guyanese-born businessman Arif Ali in 1970.
[1][2][3] The newspaper covered news, sport and social developments in the Caribbean, targeting the UK's West Indian and African-Caribbean population.
It was "an important anti-racist campaigning organ"[4] and the UK's oldest Black weekly newspaper.
[2] The Caribbean Times was subsequently published by Ethnic Media Group Ltd, and in 2006 was merged with the New Nation,[6][7][8] which had launched in 1996.
[9] After Ethnic Media Group went into administration in 2009,[10] the rights to The Caribbean Times and other titles were sold.
