The Taipei Times is an English-language print newspaper in Taiwan published by the Liberty Times Group. Founded as the third English-language newspaper on 15 June 1999,[1] it is currently the last surviving English-language print newspaper in Taiwan.[2]
History
Published by the Liberty Times Group, the Taipei Times launched its first edition on 15 June 1999.[3] It was the third English-language newspaper founded in Taiwan.[4][1] President Lee Teng-hui attended its launch ceremony.[1] The other two English-language media before the Taipei Times were Taiwan News and The China Post.[5] It is a participant in Project Syndicate.[6]
In a column celebrating the paper's fifth anniversary, then-Taipei Times associate editor Laurence Eyton wrote that much of the initial planning of the paper was concluded over pints of Carlsberg in a pub with Anthony Lawrence, the paper's first managing editor.[7] In 2002, the daily circulation stood at 280,000 copies.[8]
By 2017, the Taipei Times had become the last daily print newspaper in Taiwan, after competitors Taiwan News and China Post switched to digital-only formats.[8]
The Taipei Times has been involved in several controversies over the years, including an argument with a member of the United States House of Representatives, a push for nuclear weapons under President Chen Shui-bian, and misleading readers about the origin of a letter to The Wall Street Journal.[9][10][11][12][13]
