AB - This paper aims to expand the understanding of the Manseon Ilbo as both a journalistic institution and a media outlet, examining its characteristics as a collaborationist Korean-language daily through content analysis. Published in Hsinking, the capital of Manchukuo, the newspaper traces its origins to the Manmong Ilbo, launched concurrently with the establishment of the Manchukuo Public Relations Association, the agency responsible for government press control. The Manseon Ilbo was issued as a daily newspaper consisting of four pages each for its morning and evening editions until May 1940. Beginning in June of that year, under the stated rationale of reducing transportation expenses and achieving managerial rationalization, the paper was reorganized into a unified daily edition comprising eight pages in total. This format remained in place until December 1941. Following the enforced suspension of the Dong-A Ilbo and the Chosun Ilbo on the Korean Peninsula in August 1940, the Manseon Ilbo further strengthened its position as a Korean-language newspaper. During the wartime period, the Manseon Ilbo faithfully carried out its missions of ‘serving the nation through reporting’ and ‘reporting in accordance with state policies’, increasingly manifesting an overtly pro-Japanese and collaborationist character. In particular, the newspaper’s coverage of key Manchukuo state policies, such as the National Army Law and development policies, exemplified the typical traits of wartime media. Its pages—not only editorials but also newly established regular columns, news reports, and reader contributions—were thoroughly saturated with the government’s official line.
