The UB Post has published over 1,580 issues in the 20 years since it was first published on May 6, 1996. In its first year, the newspaper published 34 issues, releasing one four-page issue per week. Two years after its first issue, The UB Post started sharing online content, and in 2010 it started an online subscription system. The newspaper has grown from a four to a 12-page newspaper. In the last 20 years, The UB Post has grown to reach 20,000 individuals weekly, providing a foreign and domestic audience with quality news, and helping many Mongolians learn and improve their English. September 20, 2001, Issue No.279 This issue’s main story was the September 11 terrorist attack in New York City, reporting that Mongolia had pledged support to the U.S. The newspaper included an “Inside” menu in the left corner with five article headlines in almost six different fonts. Starting in 2001, the newspaper was published weekly with eight pages. October 24, 2002, Issue No.336 The UB Post began printing pages in color starting from 2002. In the beginning, only banners were in color, shifting through blue, orange, light pink, maroon, orange, and green backgrounds. This issue features a main story story about 100,000 illegal miners who had come to be known as “ninjas”. The miners carried large, green bowls on their backs, resembling the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, helping the “ninja” moniker stick. The issue included issues still challenging Mongolia today, such as gender equality, debates about the state budget, tourism, and press freedom.
