Catchick Moses, an Armenian, founded the Straits Times. Martyrose Apcar, Moses’s buddy, had planned to create a local newspaper but ran into financial troubles. Moses took over and recruited Robert Carr Woods as editor to fulfil his friend’s dream. The Straits Times began publication as an eight-page weekly on July 15, 1845, at 7 Commercial Square, using a hand-operated press. The monthly subscription charge was Sp.$1.75 at the time. Because the press was unprofitable to run, the paper was sold to Woods in September 1846.
