Mihaaru (Dhivehi: މިހާރު) is a Maldivian daily newspaper. The name Mihaaru translates to "Now".[1] It is headquartered in Malé, Maldives.[2]

History[edit]

Following the dispute of ownership and dissolution of Haveeru Daily, ex-Haveeru journalists formed Mihaaru to launch a revival of a trusted newspaper. Mihaaru previously faced closure threats by the Courts but the issues between the company and the employees were sorted at the Labour Tribunal.[1][3][4] It launched the English edition of its news integrated on its website in June 2016, but in May 2018 the English edition was separated and launched as The Edition.[3][5][6]
