List of newspapers in Singapore
The following is a list of newspapers in Singapore, including those that are currently in publication as well as those that have since ceased operations.
Prior to the dominance of the The Straits Times in recent decades, Singapore had a diverse landscape of prominent English-language newspapers. The earliest among them was the The Singapore Chronicle, established in 1824 as the first newspaper in Singapore. It served the settlement for over a decade before ceasing publication in 1837. In the early twentieth century, The Malaya Tribune emerged as a major competitor and, at its peak, outsold The Straits Times. However, it experienced a significant decline following the Japanese occupation of Singapore and ultimately ceased operations in 1951.
Other notable publications included the Singapore Tiger Standard, an English-language morning daily founded in 1950, which came under criticism for its editorial stance. It was labelled "anti-Merdeka" by S. Rajaratnam and was closed in 1959 following the rise to power of the People's Action Party (PAP). In 1971, the Government initiated a crackdown on media outlets perceived to be under foreign influence or exhibiting subversive tendencies. This led to the closure of both The Eastern Sun and the Singapore Herald.
Editorial executives of Nanyang Siang Pau, which was accused of propagating "Chinese ethnic chauvinism", had been ordered detained without trial for a period of two years, and publication of The Chinese Daily was briefly halted.
