The Baptist Times

The Baptist Times is a weekly newspaper produced in Didcot, Oxfordshire, reporting on the Baptist Church in Britain.

It has been in production since 1885 and today has an estimated readership of 24,000.[1]

It has won the Churches Media Council's Andrew Cross Award for the best regional paper, for its production of a daily paper for the Baptist World Congress in 2005.

Due to falling circulation and difficulties of selling advertising space, the paper ceased publication in November 2011, with plans for a retrospective to be published in January 2012.

Fake news controversy

In November 2019, an EU Watchdog uncovered evidence The Baptist Times was among 265 media outlets which had been used by an India-based influence network to spread disinformation about Pakistan.[2][3]

gollark: In any case, my application seems to be dealing okay with the increased database volume, searches still only take a few milliseconds.
gollark: Yes, I would use it if I had different requirements.
gollark: What about it?
gollark: Also actually supported.
