Chūsen Nippō (中鮮日報; Korean: 중선일보) was a Japanese-language newspaper published in Daejeon, Korea, Empire of Japan from 1909 to 1945.[1] The newspaper went by a number of names over time. It was founded as Ōta shinbun (大田新聞; 대전신문), changed names to Sannan shinpō (三南新報; 삼남신보) in 1910, was acquired by the Keijō Nippōsha in June 1912 and renamed to Konan nippō (湖南日報; 호남일보), then to Chōsen chuō shinbun (朝鮮中央新聞; 조선중앙신문),[1][2][3] then received its final name in either April 1935[3] or in 1936.[1] The paper was requisitioned on August 17, 1945, shortly after the liberation of Korea.[1] The newspaper reportedly wrote of the liberation day, August 15, in the Korean language, with use of a Korean dictionary that was given to them.[4] Afterwards, the newspaper's assets were seized and used by the Korean newspaper Dongbang sinmun, which was the only newspaper publishing in Daejeon around that time.[4][2] The newspaper continued publication until the 1950–1953 Korean War; during the war, the facilities were completely destroyed.[4] See also
