NavajoTimes Newsletter to Newspaper
The NavajoTimes was founded in 1959 by the Navajo Tribal Council under
the form of a newsletter. The first issue of the NavajoTimes saw day
light only in 1960. And it has developed to this day to also enjoy an
online version.
The main purpose for which this local, native community newspaper was
created resides in the importance for the Navajo people to have an authentic
view of news related to their community. It also provides an insight
in the Navajo life and culture.
The best circulation method for the NavajoTimes was the one subscription-based
and it circulated within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation as well
as all over the US.
The NavajoTimes headquarters are in Window Rock, Arizona, with another
office in Shiprock, New Mexico. The newspaper is part of the NavajoTimes Publishing Co. Inc – a non-profit organization operating
under the laws of the Navajo Nation.
