According to a 1941 source, five Japanese daily newspapers were published in Taiwan with a total circulation of 80,000, and one FormosanChinese daily, the Taiwan Shimmimpo, with a circulation of 30,000. A 1940 source names another daily, the Domei Tsushin, which is included in the list below. One source lists six weekly papers, the Taiwan Keisei Shimpo, Nanei Shimpo, Showa Shimpo, Minami Nippon Shimpo, Niitaka Shimpo, and Taiwan Keizan, but these names cannot be reconciled with the listing below taken from another source. The name of the newspaper Taiwan Shimmimpo was changed on 11 February 1941 to Konan Shimbun (Revival of the Southern Region), as it was felt that the old name did not express the new role of the paper in the Japanese program of expansion. This paper, as are all the others, is published in Japanese. There is some circulation in Taiwan of papers from Japan, the Osaka Asahi and Osaka Mainichi selling about 10,000 copies each, while the Fukuoka Nichinichi, the Tokyo Asahi, the Tokyo Nichinichi and the Yomiuri all have a circulation of from 1,000 to 2,000. One newspaper, the Tainan Nippo, and two magazines, the Sekkan Kyozon Doei Geppo (Sekkan Mutual Existence and Prosperity Magazine) and the Shimmin (Friendly People) are published in Tanan Province. The former magazine was founded in 1935 and is published at no definite interval, but approximately once in three months; the latter was founded in 1936 and is published every other month. 2.
