Cheguk sinmun
1898–1910 newspaper in Korea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cheguk sinmun (Korean: 뎨국신문; 제국신문; Hanja: 帝國新聞; lit. 'Imperial Post') was a Korean-language newspaper published in the Korean Empire between 1898 and 1910. It founded in August 8, 1898 by Yi Jong-myeon (李鍾冕) and published in Seoul.[1] It was published using the purely vernacular Hangul script and attracted a largely lower or middle class and female readership.[1] It was less political than the other papers of the period, concentrating instead on social issues. One of its early reporters was the young Syngman Rhee.[1]
