## About

The paper that once served Kamuzu Banda's one-party state is now, most days, the sober institutional voice of Malawian news. It traces an unbroken line to 1895 and runs a print, television and radio operation, leading on police, parliament and the machinery of government rather than partisan fireworks. Its establishment calm drew newsroom-capture allegations after the 2025 election, a reminder that the country's oldest title still sits close enough to power to be fought over.

## Profile

## 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.
