背景：

1959年因中国共产党入侵西藏中部而引发了一场失败的人民起义，尊者达赖喇嘛被迫逃往印度北部。最初，大约十万藏人离开家园跟随他流亡，主要分布在印度。尼泊尔和不丹也有较小定居点。1960年藏人行政中央在印度达兰萨拉成立，并宣布藏人行政中央是拉萨的法定西藏政府。在达赖喇嘛尊者的领导下藏人行政中央开始改造西藏的传统治理系统，使之成为一个现代化的民主国家。藏人行政中央对日益增多的西藏流亡者提供援助， 以此为首要目标同时致力于解决中国非法占领家园的问题。

如今，西藏流亡人口已经攀升至大约140，000人，部分藏人旅居在北美，欧洲和澳大利亚。这种广泛分散的跨国流亡社区及共同的民族认同，其中一个关键因素是达赖喇嘛一直以来的促进西藏社会和民主价值的政治制度。尊者达赖喇嘛承诺，建立一个民主的西藏社会，以我们的流亡来启发更多藏人。许多藏人共同努力推动这一西藏社会真正独立的愿景。1996年9月13日，一小群总部设在达兰萨拉（印度北部）西藏流亡作家和知识分子建立了名为“Bod-Kyi-Dus-Bab”的新闻报纸，也被称为西藏时报。因为他们认为有必要通过独立的新闻媒体了解西藏人民，影响他们生活的社会和政治问题，并对民主社会的监测和安全防护作出贡献。

西藏时报的简介：
最初，西藏时报每月出版次为两期，然而，在一年之内就得到了普及，并且得到了广大人民的积极反应。因此，从1997年七月开始增加出版次数为每月三期。感谢广大人民的支持，我们能够涵盖社会和政治发展，并扩大其职权范围至24个国家。传播偏见的新闻，有助于为境内外藏人发声，表达他们对自由民主的渴求。
作为民主的四大支柱，我们将为你提供有关西藏斗争的新闻。 同时，为了塑造一个健康的民主政府，我们也为你设立了公平交换思想的交流平台。

之前在藏人流亡社区，由于只有数量有限的藏文版新闻和报纸，我们还滞留在读、听或看藏文版的新闻，但是现在由于社交网络的发达，不仅是藏人，全世界各个角落里的人都可以轻而易举地在社交网络上发现新的想法，彼此交流个人观点。其实，全世界已经扭织在一起。为了充分利用这一资源，西藏时报为大家建立了一个网站：www.tibettimes.net.

在过去的 十九年里，西藏时报还透过刊登一些流亡藏人作家的作品让他们能以书籍的形式出现于公众前。通过提供藏文作家发表自己作品的机会，西藏时报不仅帮助增加藏人社会中的各种声音，而且还积极鼓励，保护濒临灭绝的藏语文的有力发展在全球气候变异的今日。

我们西藏时报的目的如下：
1） 促进流亡藏人对民主以及对人权概念的认识。
2） 收集和传播有关尊者达赖喇嘛、藏人行政中央（ CTA）和西藏境内外藏人的活动信息。
3）普及教育包括藏人以及全世界各个地方的人关于西藏文化、语言遗产、西藏政治、社会和环境等。
4）推动境内外藏人相互理解。
5）增进流亡行政机构对全球藏人的透明度。
