‘The Washington Times’ vs. transgender people

The Washington Times is a conservative American media organization. Its coverage of transgender topics is consistently negative.

Background

The Washington Times was founded in 1982 by Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the Unification Church. Established to provide an alternative to mainstream U.S. newspapers, particularly The Washington Post, it has focused on national politics, foreign policy, and social issues from a right-leaning perspective. The paper gained influence during the Reagan era.

Over time, The Washington Times faced persistent financial and operational challenges. These led to repeated ownership changes, heavy financial subsidies from church-affiliated organizations, layoffs, and restructuring efforts. The paper has periodically reduced its print footprint and shifted resources toward digital publishing. It is generally viewed as a niche outlet that has survived through institutional support and adaptation rather than sustained commercial success.
