The Fiji Times marks its 150th anniversary today after its humble beginnings in Levuka on September 4, 1869, started by George Littleton Griffiths and his family.
The Fiji Times is proud to be Fiji’s oldest newspaper, documenting history over the decades.
Today as we celebrate how the company has come a long way with 170 staff working in Suva, Nadi, Lautoka and Labasa offices, we also reflect on the significant events we have covered that have shaped Fiji and its history as a nation.
We are humbled by how far we have come as The Fiji Times family and we pay tribute to our founders, the Motibhai Group, the
Fiji Times staff that have gone before us, our readers and our supporters out there who have made us what we are today.
We look forward to more years of service, bringing the latest updates in news, sports and entertainment as we stand by the words of G.L. Griffiths, in the first issue: “The only promise that we can make is that we shall watch the times and try to make our paper a public good; a practical, useful and honest medium for the support of honour, truth and right.”
