Big Newspaper - Oshinbun

Japanese: 大新聞 - おおしんぶん

The opposite of small newspapers. In terms of format, they were large in size, and in terms of content, following the tradition of the Seiron Shimbun, they mainly wrote articles on politics and economics, were written in a prose style, had a high price tag, and were read by intellectuals. Representative examples include the Asano Shimbun and the Yubin Hochi Shimbun. After the National Diet was opened in 1881, they became affiliated with the newly formed political parties, and many of them actively criticized the government, but the government suppressed them by promulgating the Newspaper Ordinance and the Libel Law. Around 1900, both large and small newspapers were overwhelmed by a new style of newspaper called the Newspaper Newspaper, and were merged.

Japanese:

小 (こ) 新聞の対。形式的には紙幅が大きく，内容的には政論新聞の伝統を継いで政治経済の記事を主とし，文章体で，定価も高く，インテリ層に読まれた。『朝野新聞』『郵便報知新聞』などがその代表。 1881年に国会が開設されたのちは誕生したばかりの各政党の系列下に入り，多くは政府批判を活発に展開したが，政府は新聞紙条例や讒謗 (ざんぼう) 律を公布してこれを弾圧した。 1900年前後からは，大新聞も小新聞も報道新聞という新形式の新聞に圧倒され，統合されていった。
