## About

Malawi's most-read news site is run from northern England, founded in the diaspora and powered by a comment section as combustible as its headlines. Nyasa Times covers Lilongwe politics at full tilt, slamming and daring and blasting in verbs a broadsheet would never print, aimed at whichever party holds power. When Mutharika's DPP returned in 2025 the target simply switched, proof its loyalty runs to the scandal, not the side.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Online-only outlet founded in the UK diaspora (2006) by Edgar Chibaka; self-described independent and citizen-owned. No documented party ownership.
- **Funding:** Online advertising and diaspora readership
- **Focus areas:** Malawian politics, governance, corruption, scandal and current affairs; heavy reader-comment culture


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
