The Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News (台灣新生報), or TSSD News, is a Taipei-based daily newspaper founded on October 25, 1945, making it, by its own account, the oldest continuously published newspaper in Taiwan. According to the paper’s own history, it was established as the successor to the Japanese colonial-era Taiwan Shinpō (台灣新報), whose assets were received on behalf of the Taiwan Provincial Administrative Executive Office (台灣省行政長官公署), the ROC governing body that administered Taiwan following Japan’s 1945 surrender, by Lí Bān-ku (李萬居), a Taiwanese journalist and civic figure. The paper’s masthead calligraphy was provided by Yu You-ren (于右任), a senior KMT (國民黨) statesman renowned as one of the foremost Chinese calligraphers of the twentieth century. The paper operated under the Taiwan Provincial Government for more than five decades, serving as its official newspaper, before being transferred to the Government Information Office (行政院新聞局) following the 1999 streamlining of provincial government structures, and was privatized on January 1, 2001. Following privatization, the paper repositioned itself as a specialist outlet covering cross-strait trade, transportation, and shipping, and later added a dedicated wellness and healthcare section. It describes its shipping edition as the most authoritative of its kind in Taiwan. The paper was one of only two newspapers publishing during the February 28 Incident (二二八事件) of 1947, a violent crackdown by ROC authorities against the local population that remains one of the most significant and contested events in Taiwan’s modern history.
