The Rangoon Times

The Rangoon Times was an English-language weekly newspaper[1] published in Rangoon, Burma during British rule. It was published from 1854 until British expulsion of Rangoon in 1942. The newspaper was formerly named the Rangoon Chronicle, and was renamed to The Rangoon Times in 1858.[2] In the Homeward Mail of 23rd January 1909, the death of the then sole proprietor Mr Oswald Maurice O'Brien was announced[3]. Following his death, his widow reported in a letter of 16 August 1909 that the new editor had arrived and was "the son of Sir William (sic) Arnold[4], "the man who wrote the great book on Buddhism". It was managed by George A. Brown, a Scotsman, from about 1915 to his death in 1940.[5]

Publishing frequency

The newspaper was initially published twice a week, before being increased to three times by 1861, later becoming a daily publication.
