Borneo Bulletin
The ''Borneo Bulletin'' is a daily English-language newspaper in Brunei. It is published by Brunei Press, which also publishes a Malay-language daily, ''Media Permata''. The ''Bulletin'' circulates around 20,000 copies on weekdays and 25,000 copies on Saturday and Sunday. The Borneo Bulletin is the main source of information on local, regional and foreign affairs, as well as business news. Detailed stock market reports of the Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and regional stock exchanges are carried for the benefit of Bruneian businessmen and investors. In addition to the more serious news, the newspaper carries sports, lifestyle and leisure pages.〔(History of the Borneo Bulletin )〕
==History==
The paper was first published in 1957 as a weekly community newspaper for expatriates in Brunei. Its founders were two Englishmen, William Frederick Runagall and Geoffrey Weir Kerr. Runagall left his publishing business in Singapore (The Craftsman Press) to set up the Brunei Press in Kuala Belait, Brunei. Kerr was at that time the Shell Oil Company information director based in Seria, Brunei. The Borneo Bulletin consisted of 12 pages and had a circulation of 3,500 copies. In 1959, the paper was sold to the ''Straits Times'' of Singapore.〔 The paper was expanded over the years to include over 40 pages of content and advertising. It was published on a Friday.
In 1985, Brunei's first public-listed company, QAF, took over part of the shares of Brunei Press from the Straits Times. In September 1990, QAF acquired full ownership and the ''Borneo Bulletin'' became a daily (Monday - Saturday) paper.〔 In 1991, it added its ''Sunday'' edition and thus became a true daily paper.
The paper launched an online version in the mid-1990s.
