Tongnip Sinmun (Korean: 독립신문; Hanja: 獨立新聞), also known by its translated title The Independent, was a historic newspaper printed in Korean and English and published between 1896 and 1899. It was the first privately managed daily newspaper in Korea and the first to print editions written exclusively in Hangul (and not interspersed with Hanja, as was common practice).
It was founded in July 1896 by the Korean intellectual Seo Jae-pil (later known as Philip Jaisohn).[1] Both language editions were first published every other day, but its Korean edition was later printed daily and its English weekly.[2] It has been estimated that the paper's average circulation per issue was between 2,000 and 3,000 copies.[3]
The paper is a National Registered Cultural Heritage of South Korea.[4]
