The Baptist Times is a website owned by the
Baptist Church
in Britain.
It has been in production (originally as a newspaper) since 1885 and today has an estimated readership of 24,000.[1]
It has won the
Baptist World Congress
in 2005.
Due to falling circulation and difficulties of selling advertising space, the paper ceased print publication in November 2011, with plans for a retrospective to be published in January 2012. The website launched in 2012.[2]
Fake news controversy
In November 2019, an EU Watchdog uncovered evidence The Baptist Times was among 265 media outlets which had been used by an India-based influence network to spread disinformation about Pakistan.[3][4]
