The El Paso Times is a daily newspaper published by Gannett, established in 1881 to cover the US–Mexico borderlands. The paper reports in English with a cross-border perspective, reflecting a bilingual community shaped by trade, migration and military service. Its reporters cover Fort Bliss, the ports of entry, public safety and City Hall, with explainers that simplify complex policy changes. Investigations and courts coverage focus on accountability and due process, while neighborhood stories highlight civic problem-solvers. Sports, culture and food round out each issue, illustrating how El Paso and Ciudad Juárez move together. Readers also value practical guides to elections, extreme heat and water planning, presented with plain language and transparent sourcing. The Times collaborates with the USA TODAY Network on national and investigative projects when scale adds value, and maintains a sharp local focus otherwise. The mission remains consistent: to serve border readers first and explain why decisions made in Austin, Santa Fe and Washington matter here.
