An effective and relevant newspaper wears many hats. It has to inform, engage and intrigue without becoming sensationalistic. To educate while it entertains, so that what is important to know is also enjoyable to learn about. The Star has achieved most of this with considerable success and done its part to articulate the issues that really matter to the nation.

The Star has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 1971 and has become the most widely read English language daily, scoring many firsts and recording many remarkable achievements along the way.

As a leading media organisation that has undergone many changes, its core objective remains the same - to provide fast, accurate and credible news, views and information with relevant depth and breadth, but nowadays, in the most convenient and quickest manner.

Thus, The Star media group also distributes content via a mobile platform (SMS News Alert and mobile news), via The Star Online (3G and video streaming), radio and radio online, as well as print and periodicals. The Star aims to be a meaningful and committed media organisation, and an essential, intrinsic and unique part of our readers’ lives.

As The People’s Paper, The Star will continue to touch the hearts of the people, and play its nation-building role responsibly, sensitively and progressively in a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi religious community.
