The Chenab Times is an independent multilingual digital news organisation in India founded in 2017. It is known for publishing news in lesser-known languages, including Sarazi, Bhaderwahi, Gojri and Chenabich Kashir.[5][6][7][8]
Name[edit]
The Chenab Times derives its name from the Chenab River, which flows through the Chenab Valley, which includes the districts of Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban in the Jammu Division of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.[7]
History[edit]
The news outlet was launched in July 2017 in Thathri, Doda by a Kashmiri journalist Anzer Ayoob. It has been covering topics related to development, infrastructure, and healthcare, particularly hyper-local issues in the Chenab Valley.[9] It also covers current news across the world.[10]
On 21 January 2021, The Chenab Times started daily short news round-up in various local languages of Chenab Valley, which includes Sarazi and Bhaderwahi languages with additional support of Urdu language.[7] This was the first time Sarazi and Bhaderwahi languages were used for broadcasting news as these languages are endangered.[11]
In 2022, The Chenab Times was nominated for the "Best News Portal Award" by the Pahari Core Committee, an amalgamation of fifteen literary groups in Jammu and Kashmir, for promoting the local Pahari languages.[7][10]
As of February 2023[update], The Chenab Times have started publishing news in Gojri under their Multilingual News Initiative (MNI).[12]
In November 2023, The Chenab Times started a new video news bulletin under the Multilingual News Initiative of The Chenab Times. This bulletin is in Kashmiri language and is named Chenabich Kashir, meaning The Kashmiri Language spoken in Chenab region.[13][14]
Chenab Times Foundation[edit]
The Chenab Times Foundation is a charitable trust that focuses on promoting art, culture, and public issues through both online and offline journalism.[15] In a recent development, during the month of July, the Chenab Times Foundation advocated for recognizing Pahari Status for the residents of the Chenab Valley.[16][17] On 25 February 2023, The Chenab Times officially affiliated with the Chenab Times Foundation. This affiliation has led to The Chenab Times coming under the ownership and operation of the foundation.[18]
