The Keijō Nippō was established under the instruction of the first Japanese Resident-General of Korea, Itō Hirobumi in 1906. The original primary mission was to promote and justify Japan’s interest on the peninsula. After Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, it became the Governor-General of Korea’s organ paper. The Governor-General acquired its rival Korean-language newspaper the Daehan Maeil Shinbo, consolidated it into Keijō Nippōsha, and established the Maeil Shinbo in the same year. After that, Keijō Nippō’s target readership became Japanese residents in Korea. The Governor-General tightened its media control in the 1930s and consolidated the newspaper press in 1942 as part of its one paper, one province policy. The Keijō Nippō stopped publishing in December 1945.​

朝鮮新聞社 - Chōsen Shinpō-sha

Chosen Shimpo/Chosen Shinpo traces its history to the publication of the Jinsen Keijō Kakushū Shūhō in 1890. It was renamed to the Chōsen Shinpō via another title, the Chōsen Shunpō in 1892. It was published by Chōsen Shinpōsha in Incheon with a strong commercial orientation. The publication was initially only three times a month but increased to every other day after the publisher changed to Yoshie Aoyama in 1895. By 1902, the newspaper became daily. The newspaper merged with the Chōsen Times under Kazuo Hagitani's leadership and established the largest Japanese-language newspaper published in Incheon, the Chōsen Shinbun in 1908. This Chōsen Shinpō was a different title from another Chōsen Shinpō published by Zai Fuzankō Shōhō Kaigisho (Chamber of Commerce at the Pusan Port) in Pusan.​
