The Provisa Times, often shortened to the Times, is a major broadsheet newspaper in Belhavia. With an estimated circulation of 4.1 million copies a day (including 698,000 online paid subscriptions), it is the nation's largest news print publication. It is also a contributor to the international journalist initiative the Pardes News Network.
The Times primarily covers Imperial news ranging from politics, to economic, to social, cultural, and sports issues. Its name derives from Provisa, the capital city of Belhavia. The print version has won the Kallider Prize twenty times. It has a strong reputation as objective and even-handed in its coverage of the news and analysis. It is considered the premier news content provider in the Empire that offers reports through print, televised, online, and radio news services.
With more than 800 staff members around the world that operate 10 bureaus in the Empire and 36 internationally, the Times is able to provide news from nearly anywhere on the planet, whether domestic, regional, or international.
Because of its strict adherence to objectivity, even-handedness, and impartiality, the Times has developed a sterling reputation as a news organization servicing both Belhavia and the wider world as both a credible and trustworthy news outlet.
The newspaper is well-regarded across Free Pardes as a newspaper of record; however, in the RCO world, many governments and institutions in countries such as Rodarion, Estovakiva, and others view the paper skeptically, from viewing it as a mouthpiece of the Belhavian government to simply dismissing the media outlet as ideologically-opposed to their interests and values.
Times reporters have at time had trouble accessing RCO countries, especially during geopolitical crises, though the paper's journalists have never been banned en mass from any nation.
