Today is a Singaporean news website owned by Mediacorp. It was originally established in 2000 as a free newspaper, competing primarily with Singapore Press Holdings' Streats.

In 2004, SPH took a 40% stake in MediaCorp's publishing division and Today, discontinuing Streats in the process. In September 2017, Today ceased print publication and transitioned to being a digital publication. SPH divested its stake in Mediacorp at this time.

History

Today launched on 10 November 2000; it was established as a rival to Streats, another English-language freesheet published by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). Initially, the newspaper was available only on weekdays. It was a partnership between MediaCorp, Singtel, and SMRT. DelGro was also announced as a partner in the paper, but dropped out of the venture shortly before launch.[1][2]

In 2002, Today launched a weekend version, WeekendTODAY, which was also distributed to homes as a free newspaper but also available for sale at newsstands for 50 cents.

In 2004, SPH reached an agreement to sell its SPH MediaWorks television channels to MediaCorp. As part of the agreement, Streats ceased publication, and SPH took a 40% stake in MediaCorp's publishing business, and a 20% stake in its MediaCorp TV Holdings business.[3][4]

On 6 July 2006, the newspaper suspended a weekly opinion column by Lee Kin Mun (alias: mr brown) after the government criticised an article he wrote in his column discussing the rising cost of living in Singapore, which he depicted in satirical style.[5]

In 2010, Today launched the Today—New York Times International Weekly, covering international affairs, social trends, arts and culture as well as business and finance.[6]

In May 2011, the paper launched a Sunday edition, Today on Sunday.[7] In June 2012, the Sunday edition ceased publication.

In 2013, the newspaper had a digital revamp of its website, mobile and tablet applications. It also ceased its afternoon edition. That year, had a circulation of 300,000, with more than half of its readers being professionals, managers, executives and businesspeople.[8] It was the second-most-read English-language newspaper in Singapore, after The Straits Times.[9]

In April 2017, Today discontinued its weekend edition, publishing only on weekdays. In September, it then ceased print publication of its weekday edition, continuing as a digital publication only.[10] SPH concurrently divested its stakes in Mediacorp.[11]
