The Fiji Times
Founded in Levuka in 1869 and now published from Suva, The Fiji Times is Fiji's oldest newspaper and its leading English-language daily. Owned by the local Motibhai Group since News Limited's forced divestment in 2010, it covers politics, the economy, rugby and village life, and has repeatedly defended its independence against government pressure.

Is The Fiji Times left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The Fiji Times as Center within Fiji's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read The Fiji Times beside another title from Fiji and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Fiji dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are The Fiji Times's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because The Fiji Times is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Fiji title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
