History

Daily Times was launched on 9 April 2002 by Salman Taseer with Najam Sethi serving as its first editor-in-chief. It struggled to attract advertisers in its early years. Later, it launched its lifestyle supplement, Sunday Times, which was included with the newspaper's Sunday edition. At a time when social media was not prevalent, Sunday Times covered celebrity events and social gatherings, drawing substantial advertising revenue. Over time, Sunday Times has become a major source of income for the newspaper.
