Nigeria's oldest paper publishes again

The Daily Times Nigeria, the country's oldest newspaper, has been published this week for the first time in two years. The paper ran into problems in the 1990s after a government military group bought up a majority of the shares and took it off sale. In announcing its return, the paper said: "The new Daily Times Nigeria shall be non-partisan and will at all times stand for the truth. We espouse the finest democratic ideals and uphold the highest professional and ethical standards". (Via Editors' weblog)
