Kanjō Shinpō
The Kanjō Shinpō (漢城新報, Korean: 한성신보; lit. Hanseong News) was a Japanese- and Korean-language newspaper published in Seoul, Joseon (later Korean Empire). It was founded in either late 1894 or February 1895, and ran until it was acquired by the Japanese Resident-General of Korea in 1906. It was then merged with another newspaper, Daitō Shinpō, and became the Keijō Nippō.

In 1895, its employees were all infamously involved in the assassination of the Korean queen.
It has since been described by historians as a "propaganda newspaper" that promoted Japan's interests in Korea.
