The Bali Times was the first English-language newspaper published in Bali in broadsheet format. It was founded by journalist William J. Furney, a former international newswire correspondent based in Jakarta, and launched its first edition on March 18, 2005.
After about a decade in print, the newspaper transitioned to an online-only publication. Its coverage includes local, national and international news; commentary; features; business; health; the arts; and sport.
The newspaper is published by PT Lestari Kala Media in Seminyak, Bali.
