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.
Indigenous Content
Apart from daily coverage in Oshiwambo, who besides English, form the majority of our readership, New Era also features four indigenous languages, namely Otjiherero, Khoekhoegowab, Silozi and Rukwangali. This has a direct reach across the country, penetrating marginalised communities and are extremely popular with our readers.

The content is synchronised between the Websites and Social Media platforms and is complemented with free interactive Mobile Apps, for both iOS and Android devices.
