The Daily Times (DT) is an English language Pakistani newspaper. Launched on April 9, 2002, Daily Times, which is simultaneously published from Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, is edited by Rashed Rahman. The paper was owned by the late Governor of Punjab and Pakistan Peoples Party stalwart Salmaan Taseer.

Daily Times is recognized as a newspaper that advocates liberal and secular ideas.[1] The DT has gained popularity as well as notoriety due to some of its editorials, considered controversial in some parts of Pakistan, but lauded in the international press. For example, the Daily Times came under blistering criticism by some in the ethnic Pashtoon community at the end of 2006 when it published a highly controversial editorial “Say ‘yes’ to ‘naswar’!”. Editor Rashed Rahman joined Daily Times in November 2009 and has previously worked as Executive Editor for English dailies The Post and The Nation.

"Secular" is as in secular democracy, as oppossed to a theocracy with its accompanying censorship.
