About Us
Independent reporting rooted in Zambia’s national story — informing citizens, holding power to account, and chronicling everyday life across the country.
Our Story
What began as a Copperbelt title in the mid-20th century grew into a national daily known today as Times of Zambia. From Chingola to Ndola and into the digital era, the newsroom has covered independence, economic change, courts, sport and the lives of communities in every province.
Today our journalists work from Lusaka and Ndola, combining print craft with a modern digital platform so readers can follow Zambia’s news wherever they are.
