Tseng Times

The Tseng Times (Chinese: 曾島時報; pinyin: Zēngdǎo Shíbào) is a Tseng City-based English-language newspaper owned by the Y. C. Lin Group. Founded in 1895, it is the oldest continously publishing newspaper in all of Tseng and the newspaper of record for English speakers in the country since colonial times. There are paper editions published every day, and the newspaper operates an online news website as well. It maintains a daily circulation of around 250,000.

Port Elizabeth Times (1895-1947)
The Tseng Times was first published on August 31, 1895, by Tsengian journalist Alfred Chang and funded by British businessman and colonial government official J. A. MacKay. It was originally known as the Port Elizabeth Times (PET).

The Port Elizabeth Times at the time represented the interests of the government and wealthy English-speaking elite in Tseng, so it became a very respected newspaper. Editorials and articles were all written by British journalists, and aside from founder Alfred Chang, there were only around 10 non-British employees working at the PET, and only one non-British journalist.

Due to this disparity, Tsengian independence activists mocked the PET for being out-of-touch with the common people, and burned copies of the PET. In 1927, Tseng Times competitor, pro-Tseng English-language newspaper Republic Evening Post was founded. The REP 's headquarters mysteriously burned down in 1933, and its editors blamed the PET.

Tseng City Times (1947-1968)
On January 3, 1947, the PET changed its name to the Tseng City Times and did a complete overhaul to the staff and organization of the newspaper.
