https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_Tim Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper [2] headquartered in New York City. The company was founded in 2000 by John Tang and a group of Chinese-American Falun Gong practitioners. The newspaper covers general interest topics with a focus on news about China and human rights issues there. It draws from a network of sources inside China, as well as Chinese expatriates living in the West.[3][4][5][6] The newspaper and its staffs have won over 10 media awards, including New York Press Association Awards for design excellence and National Ethnic Press & Media Council Awards for human rights coverage. The newspaper has been described by some scholars as a mouthpiece for the Falun Gong,[7][8][9][10][11] connected with the group and carrying sympathetic coverage of it.[citation needed] A spokesperson for the newspaper says it does not speak for the practice.[12] The newspaper maintains a generally anti-communist editorial stance, including explicit opposition to the Communist Party of China.[7][13][14][15] The Epoch Times is widely distributed in overseas Chinese communities, and has been publishing in Chinese since May 2000.[16] It is either sold or distributed free-of-charge in 35 countries, including various intranational regional editions. It has editions in English, Chinese and nine other languages in print,[17] as well as 21 different languages on the internet.[18] Weekly print editions are also available. A typical issue includes sections for world and national news, op-eds, sports, entertainment, business, arts and culture, travel, health and automobiles.[19] Epoch Times websites are blocked in mainland China.
