Our Products

New Era

New Era is a Namibian national newspaper that provides well-researched and in-depth news and feature articles on political, socio-economic, cultural, governmental and developmental issues of national, regional and international significance.

The newspaper lays special emphasis on reporting on community-related issues, especially as they relate to the rural areas of the country, matters of national interest as well as government-related issues, which may concern the community.

The newspapers’ widely distributed products reach the most remote parts of the country, thus providing its readers and advertisers with insight into happenings in all 14 regions of Namibia through its regional bureaux.
