The Chosun Ilbo (Korean: 조선일보, lit. 'Korea Daily Newspaper') is a daily newspaper in South Korea[1][2][3][4] and the oldest active daily newspaper in the country.[9] With a daily circulation of more than 1,800,000,[10] the Chosun Ilbo has been audited annually since the Audit Bureau of Circulations was established in 1993.[11] Chosun Ilbo and its subsidiary company, Digital Chosun, operates the Chosun.com news website, which also publishes web versions of the newspaper in English, Chinese, and Japanese. The paper is considered a newspaper of record for South Korea.
History
The Chosun Ilbo Establishment Union was created in September 1919 while the Chosun Ilbo company was founded on 5 March 1920[9] by Sin Sogu.[12][13]
On 31 July 1940, the newspaper published "Lessons of American Realism", the fourth part of an editorial series.[14] Ten days later[14] - following issue 6,923 - the paper was declared officially discontinued by the Japanese ruling government. In the twenty years since its founding, the paper had been suspended by the Japanese government four times, and its issues confiscated over five hundred times before 1932.
When
The paper is considered a newspaper of record in Korea.[15]
Subsidiaries
Besides the daily newspaper, the company also publishes the Weekly Chosun, the Monthly Chosun, Digital Chosun, Edu-Chosun, and ChosunBiz.

The Chosun Ilbo has historically taken a hardline stance against North Korea. For example, it opposed South Korean President Kim Dae-jung's "Sunshine Policy". For this reason, it has attracted heavy criticism and threats from the North.[12]
On 31 May 2019, the newspaper reported that, based on "an unidentified source", the head diplomat of North Korea's nuclear envoy
The Educational Broadcasting System's popular instructor Choi Tae-seong, sued a Chosun Ilbo reporter for publishing an article that defamed him as a supporter of North Korea.[25]
The Chosun Ilbo has been accused of being "chinilbanminjokhaengwi" (친일반민족행위, 親日反民族行爲, "pro-Japanese anti-nationalist activist"), because of controversy over its advocacy of the
