Keijō nippō

Keijō nippō (京城日報, Korean: 경성일보; RR: Gyeongseong ilbo; MR: Kyŏngsŏng ilbo) was a Japanese-language newspaper published in Korea from 1906 to 1945. It is primarily associated with the Japanese colonial period in Korea, and is considered to have functionally been an official newspaper of the Japanese Government-General of Chōsen.

During its peak around World War II, it had the highest circulation of any newspaper published in Korea, followed by the Fuzan nippō and Chōsen shinbun. Due to press centralization policies, from around 1942 to 1945 it was the only newspaper in Seoul with significant printing equipment.

After the August 15, 1945 announcement of the surrender of Japan, it became greatly destabilized. On October 31, 1945, it was ordered to cede its operations to Korean people. It continued being published until December 11, 1945, in order to keep the remaining Japanese people in Korea informed of political developments. The paper then dissolved; its equipment, staff, and facilities became part of various Korean newspapers.

Many of its early issues are now considered lost after they were destroyed by fire. The Korean Newspaper Archive has many issues from 1915 to 1945 available.
