Other Information:

The Washington Times was established in 1982, one year after The Washington Star ceased publication. At a time when the new Reagan administration was finding its way in an often hostile capital city, The Times quickly established itself as an independent and influential voice that was willing to break the stories that the dominant Washington Post was not.

By its second year of publication, the Associated Press listed The Times as the third most widely-quoted newspaper in the nation. President Reagan let it be known that The Washington Times was the first newspaper he read every morning. The Times was must reading for his successors as well, including former President Clinton.

The implications of this aggressive and competitive presence in the press arena of the nation's capital have been far-reaching. The hundreds of bureau chiefs of American and foreign publications based in Washington, D.C. have since 1982 had more than one menu from which to select their leads. The House Banking Scandal, the Whitewater investigation and the threat of nuclear proliferation by rogue states are among the many stories The Times played a key role in bringing to the light of day.

Calling itself "America's Newspaper," The Times' editors make it a point not to mock the values of it readers. Editor in Chief Wesley Pruden often says he seeks the return of the days when newspaper people didn't put on airs and simply sought "to get the news first and get it right."

"At The Times we understand the enormous power of honest and hard-hitting reporting, the poetry of plain and straightforward language when it enlists in the cause of delivering information that people want and can actually use," Mr. Pruden said in a recent speech.

"We understand how words can both sing and sting, and move men and women to great deeds and occasionally move them to regret and even to repentance, especially when their reckless misdeeds are spread out across the top of Page One."

Now in its 20th year of publication, The Times has won hundreds of awards and has seen its circulation increase year after year at a time when the circulations of virtually all other major newspapers across the land are in decline. Since beginning publication in June 1994, the National Weekly Edition of The Times has been growing steadily and expects to reach 100,000 paid subscription level by year's end.
