ABOUT US

For well over half a century the Borneo Bulletin has held the coveted position of being the most effective mass market medium in Negara Brunei Darussalam.

Evolving as it did from a modest weekly news-sheet way back in 1953 , targeted at an expatriate community in the oil towns of the Belait District, the Borneo Bulletin is the most trusted, most influential and the foremost print media in the Sultanate today, with a steadily growing loyal readership.

Six years after its inception in 1959, the founders of the Borneo Bulletin sold the weekly newspaper of 12 pages with a mere 3,500 circulation to the Straits Times Singapore. Later in 1985 Brunei's first publicly listed company, QAF, took over the part of shares of the publishing company Brunei Press, from the Straits Times.

Five years later in September 1990, the Borneo Bulletin was turned into a fully-fledged daily newspaper, with QAF acquiring full ownership. The change saw remarkable success and growth leading to current circulations reaching 25,000 copies daily and 30,000 copies for the Weekend edition respectively.

This newspaper remains the main source of information for its readers, providing extensive coverage of local, regional, national and international news.

Typically, the Borneo Bulletin reaches out to thoughtful, discerning young upwardly mobile men and women of Brunei - who make up the future decision makers, entrepreneurs and those with relatively high spending power.

Not only does the newspaper deliver information accurately and objectively upholding ethical standards and important traditions, it also endeavours to be acutely inventive, creative and ever-responsive to current developments and changes.

If it is important to you, it is important to the Borneo Bulletin. That simply conveys the editorial priority of this newspaper in delivering news and information.

Our highly motivated journalists cover every beat at local, national and regional levels providing accurate and credible content while our global coverage is provided by some of the world's best services that include Reuters, Associated Press (AP), Agence France Presse (AFP) Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa), Xinhua, Bernama, the Guardian, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times news services.
