MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SINGAPORE

Structured around the country's four official languages, the local press market is heavily consolidated under major corporate ownership rather than independent publishers. The historic English-language broadsheet Straits Times, founded in 1845, operates as the nation's flagship and most widely circulated daily paper. Specialized and native-language publications cater to distinct demographic groups, including the regional financial broadsheet Business Times, the Malay-language Berita Harian, and the Tamil-language Tamil Murasu. Paperboy lists 13 newspapers in Singapore.
