Daehan Mainichi Shinbo - Daehan Mainichi Shinbo

Japanese: 大韓毎日申報 - だいかんまいにちしんぽう

A daily newspaper published in Seoul at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. It was founded in July 1904 by British journalists Bethel and Yang Ki-duk. Its editorial staff included Park Un-sik and Shin Chae-ho. It was temporarily suspended in March 1905, but was relaunched in August with a separate English edition. By appointing Bethel as president, the newspaper avoided oppression by the Japanese authorities and took an anti-Japanese and public enlightenment stance. However, the Japanese authorities continued to oppress the newspaper, including the temporary expulsion of Bethel and the arrest of Yang Ki-duk in 1908, following a British consular trial. With the Japan-Korea Annexation in August 1910, the Government-General of Korea bought the newspaper, renamed it Maeil Shinbo, and used it as its organ newspaper.

Japanese:

朝鮮の李朝末期にソウルで発行された日刊新聞。1904年7月にイギリス人ベセルと梁起鐸とが創刊。論説陣には朴殷植，申采浩らを擁した。05年3月一時休刊し8月の復刊時に英文版を分離して発行。ベセルを社長とすることにより日本官憲の弾圧をかわし，反日･国民啓蒙の論陣を張った。しかし日本官憲は08年の英国領事裁判によるベセルの一時国外追放･梁起鐸逮捕をはじめ執拗な弾圧を加えた。10年8月の日韓併合とともに朝鮮総督府が買収して《毎日申報》と改題し，その機関紙とした。
