For the 1883–1884 newspaper with a similar Korean name, see Hansŏng sunbo.
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[1] or February 1895,[2] 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.[3][1]

In 1895, its employees were all infamously involved in the assassination of the Korean queen.[3][4]
It has since been described by historians as a "propaganda newspaper" that promoted Japan's interests in Korea.[5][3][1]
