United Daily News (聯合報) is a Taipei-based daily broadsheet newspaper founded on September 16, 1951, by Wang Ti-wu (王惕吾) as a merger of three papers: the Popular Daily (全民日報), the National Daily (民族報), and the Economic Times (經濟時報). It is the flagship publication of the United Daily News Group (聯合報系), whose other publications include the Economic Daily News (經濟日報), founded on April 20, 1967, and the World Journal (世界日報), founded in 1976 and described by the group as the largest Chinese-language newspaper in North America. The group launched the digital portal udn.com (聯合新聞網) in 1999 and introduced digital subscriptions in 2020. The group reports 16 million monthly unique visitors to its news website and 380 million monthly visits to udn.com. United Daily News is editorially aligned with Taiwan’s pan-Blue coalition and is considered one of Taiwan’s three major national dailies. A 2024 Reuters Institute Digital News Report survey of 16 Taiwanese news brands found United Daily received a trust rating of 51 percent from respondents, placing it in the middle of the surveyed outlets; the report also described United Daily as part of the pro-unification media camp that characterized pro-independence candidate William Lai as “the dangerous friend of the US” who would bring war to the region.
