Taiwan Journal (Taiwan Jishi Bao, Chinese: 台灣紀事報) is an English-language weekly newspaper published by the Government Information Office of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Its purpose is to inform English readers around the world about current events taking place on the island nation. The newspaper, with both print and online editions, is published every Friday, 51 issues per year (no publication during the lunar new year week), with National Day and occasional special editions.
The weekly ceased publication May 22, 2009 and was relaunched June 1, 2009 as 'Taiwan Today' (Jinri Taiwan, Chinese: 今日台灣), an English-language news portal, to keep the international community better informed of events and developments in Asia’s most vibrant and dynamic democracy.
Instead of weekly postings, the new site includes daily updates of 12 political, economic, social and cultural news stories Monday through Friday (“In the News”); photos of the day (“Snapshots”); as well as weekly opinion pieces and features offering in-depth analyses and follow-up reports on current affairs (“Opinion” and “Features”).
The new Web site can be accessed at .
