Our History

Our legacy can be traced back to the years 1845 and 1923 with the respective first runs of The Straits Times, an English daily, and Lianhe Zaobao, a Chinese newspaper.

In 1984, Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (SPH Limited) brought together newspaper brands from two companies, namely – The Straits Times Press Group (STP) and Singapore News and Publications Limited (SNPL), as well as two other companies that dealt with publishing, production and distribution, Times Publishing Bhd (TP) and Singapore Newspaper Services Pte Ltd (SNS).

Over time, SPH Limited expanded its media assets to include magazines, publications, radio stations, out-of-home screens, and billboards. As the media ecosystem evolved, SPH Limited began offering a myriad of digital platforms and innovative products.

Following a restructuring of the media business, SPH Media took over SPH Limited’s entire media-related business and continues to manage – one of Asia’s largest omnichannel media networks.
