Lesotho Times
English-language weekly newspaper published in Maseru since 2008 by Africa Media Holdings, with the Sunday Express as its sister title. One of Lesotho's most influential private papers, it is known for hard news and investigations into politics, the security services and public finances, work that has at times brought legal and physical pressure on its journalists.

Is Lesotho Times left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Lesotho Times as Center within Lesotho'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 Lesotho Times beside another title from Lesotho and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Lesotho 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 Lesotho Times's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Lesotho Times is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Lesotho title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
