The Eastern Eye is a British weekly newspaper.^[1] It was created in 1989 and was first published by The Guardian, before becoming a standalone newspaper.^{[citation needed]}

Sarwar Ahmed founded the Eastern Eye from his bedroom in 1989. Announcing itself as the newspaper "for the Asian perspective, Eastern Eye reportedly sold 30,000 copies a week nationwide in its first year. In 1996 the newspaper started compiling and publishing a list of 'Britain's Richest Asians 200'. By 2002 the circulation was 175,600.^[2]

Its ownership subsequently changed several times. It was part of the Trinity Mirror group before a management buyout and the creation of the Ethnic Media Group (EMG).^{[citation needed]} The EMG also published Asian Times, New Nation and Caribbean Times, incorporating African Times.^[2]

In 2009, Eastern Eye was sold to the Asian Media & Marketing Group, presently known as Asian Media Group (AMG).^{[citation needed]}

AMG has continued the title's tradition of publishing the annual Asian Rich List and staging the Asian Business Awards every year.
